Lyrics:

 Verse 1 & 3
Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

 Chorus
I’m not the only one, I...
I’m not the only one, I...
I’m not the only one, I...
I’m not the only one

 Verse 2
Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me my friend

 Bridge
My favourite inside source,
I’ll kiss your open sores,
Appreciate your concern,
You’ll always stink and burn
Well that’s it!

PS: I hope you understood what I was trying to say.
    I tried to make it as simple as possible

Kurt Rocks!									     Tom Battye
