    Story Behind the Song
    One of the most haunting photographs I've ever
    seen in my life is the one on the cover of the
    Daily News of April 3, 2003; of Jessica Lynch being rescued from the Saddam Hospital in Nassiriya, Iraq. The Headline simply read: "Jessica Tortured". I sat staring at this image until it boiled over in my head and I wrote this song. You Won't Torture Me No More. You Won't Torture Any Of Us Anymore.

    Ever.

    Period.

    Done.

    Thanks For Playing.

    ~American Lesley Jane

    Lyrics
    You Won't Torture Me No More



    I'm back home again
    You won't ever hurt me again
    No one knows what you do
    But we're gonna change that
    Now we've got your number

    I've been tied up to a pipe
    I've been beaten till I'm ripe
    But I'm gonna win the fight
    I won't take this no more
    I'm-a-set the people free
    All my scars are here to see
    I won't let you torture me
    No, no, no, no more

    I'm not the only one you've hurt
    So many people, you just do them dirt
    We've seen your sort before
    And this is the reason
    We drew the line to war

    Maybe now you'll get the gist
    Instead of giving the knife a twist
    I'm American and pissed
    I won't take this no more
    I'm-a-show and tell the class
    I'm-a-foot you in your ass
    Baby, this one was the last
    And you won't torture me no more

    Everybody gonna see what you do
    Human beings are free
    You're unusually cruel
    And you taught your brat kids to be as evil as you
    So now we're coming at you baby
    For real
    For real
    Ka-
    Boom

    We know
    We know what you're about
    Now your grip is slipping
    Time is running out
    Running out

    I'm-a-clang-clang-clang the bell
    Bitch, you're goin' straight to hell
    Where they all enjoy your smell
    But you won't torture me
    I'm-a-box your ears right back
    I'm-a-give 'em what you lack
    You talk out your heiney crack
    But you won't torture me no more
    I'm-a-roll it to square one
    All their lives have just begun
    Day of reckoning has come
    And you won't torture me, won't torture me, no
    See them starving at your feet
    Your own people, ain't that sweet?
    While you shoot them in the street
    But you won't torture them no more
    No
    No more
    No
    No more
    No
    And you won't torture me no more
    No
    No more
    No
    No more
    No
    No, you won't torture us no more
    No
    No more
    No
    No more
    No
