Mutley - Time and Again Lyrics

They thought what I thought
When he joked about fault and abuse
They thought but fell short
Their silence was enough to approve
They thought that what we'd been taught
He really wasn't that bad guy
They hadn't thought that they'd been bought
Taking pride in the need to be liked

Time and time, time and time, time and time, time and again
So call out those friends, think they're better than them
Time and time, time and again

They saw what I saw
Not one of us uttered a word
They saw then looked to the floor
Pretended that nothing was heard
They saw but chose to ignore
And left her stranded in shame
They saw and left open the door
For this shit to happen again

Time and time, time and time, time and time, time and again
So call out the ones before it's begun
Time and time, time and again

They said what I said
When the coppers arrived at their door
They said they couldn't defend...
Charge him to full extent of the law
They said that we'd been misled
And that it's clearer when viewed from behind
They said we couldn't prevent
But none of us acted surprised

Time and time, time and time, time and time, time and again
So call out your mates for then it might be too late
Time and time, time and again
