She Always Smiles To Strangers
(Johan Bengtsson)
She always smiles to strangers
That’s what her friends keep telling me
She’s beautiful and clever
And looking for a day to catch
She likes to go to parties
Sometimes she gets drunk
When she walks the streets downtown
She sings – like this
La la lai la li la…
You’re not a Casanova
And she is just a teenage girl
You’re not Robbie Williams
You haven’t got his sex appeal
So you force her into a garage
You know that she is drunk
“She won’t remember this”
You think, you piece of shit
It’s not raping a girl
We both know that
It’s raping her world
And all she’s got
A week ago she smiled
And now she wants to die
She told the police her story
And told it and told it again
She broke apart next morning
And tried to take her life
The pills that she has got
Are meant to numb the pain
“She won’t remember this”
You thought, you piece of shit
It’s not raping a girl
We both know that
It’s raping her world
And all she’s got
A week ago she smiled
And now she wants to die
At last they found a suspect
And she forced herself to see the court
But they could not convict you
There were no evidence or witnesses
So you walk out of the doors
Free, but not from guilt
“They won’t remember this”
You think, and sing like this
La la lai la li la…
And you who are responsible
Who think you are so safe
The law is indeed on your side
But I will keep you awake
