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
