Analysis of My Babysitter Raped Me
When I was just a boy
I had this dream of aliens and green things
My mother wasn't home
She had to work so my sisters and I could eat
She hired a babysitter
In her teens
She was mean and
My, My, My Ba- Babysitter raped me
My, My, My Ba- Babysitter raped me
She bit me on the ear
She licked me oh so dear
But, she raped me
And then my mother beat me
And then I grew too big. see?
I lived inside a bubble of my dreams
And then I learned of airplanes
b*llsh*t!, With their war games
That's when I took the only way to see
and that was
My, My, My, Ba-Babysitter raped me
My, My, My, Ba-Babysitter raped me
She took me to the sea
Left me with broken dreams
'Cause she raped me
and that's not funny
My babysitter raped me
And now I've learned to live with broken bones
My babysitter raped me
I've been the king, I was the pawn, I'm clean
When my big sister teased me
It could have been a daydream
But what I know, life's been mean to me
and I'm tellin' ya
My, My, My Ba-Babysitter raped me
My, My, My Ba-Babysitter raped me
She bit me in the ear
She licked me oh so dear
And she raped me
I told my mommy Dee
About her new employee
That babysitter worked this week for free
She took off to Missouri
Forgot to say goodbye to me
She can live there
I can live with me
but I don't know why
My, My, My Ba-Babysitter raped me
My, My, My Ba-Babysitter raped me
Why oh why oh me
Spank me spank me please
'Cause my babysitter raped me
ooooooooh she raped me
