He left me alone completely For once I slept deeply And for this, I thank The Father But I gotta tell you something that you don't wanna hear It's the truth and that's never easy to hear But my new man, well... he ain't that bad And let me explain to you why... I do what I want And I do what I like Left my hometown To lie about what no one saw But I soon found out I can't expand on my own theme I needed a partner To creep in and feel his stead Life made no sense without a beating, you see? And life was just too quiet Without no one screaming at me And then the incidental boogie Grabbed a hold of me And I got myself a real man Who don't hit that hard So I can still work at my job But I wonder what this incidental boogie Is really doing for me Cos I'm no closer to free I still do what I want And I still do what I like But now, I got this man to show me that I'm all wrong He hits me left, he hits me right All the time, but no marks No marks, no evidence to see Don't you know these days I feel so lucky? To be brutalized means you don't have to think And life is easy when there is only pain to compete Life is easy But I wonder what this incidental boogie Is really doing for me Cos I'm no closer to free
