Lyrics that Rock : Date Rape by Sublime

The next day she went to her drawer
Look up her local attorney at law
Went to the phone and filed the police report
And then she took the guy’s ass to court
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed
‘She lies that little slut!’
The judge knew that he was full of shit
And he gave him 25 years
And now his heart is filled with tears

That night in jail it was getting late
He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed
But the guards paid no attention to his cries

Although a horrific subject matter, Sublime tackles the evils of rape with humor laden lyrics. The perpetrator’s violation ends up violating him. A pretty straight forward moral tale.

Let me tell you about a girl I know
Had a drink about a hour ago
Sitting in a corner by herself
In a bar in downtown Hell
She heard a noise and she looked through the door
And saw a man she’d never seen before
Light skin, light blue eyes
A double-chin and a plastic smile
Well, her heart raced as he walked through the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
‘My brand new car is parked right outside
How’d ya like to go for a ride?’
And she said, ‘Wait a minute I have to think’
He said, ‘That’s fine, may I please buy you a drink’
One drink turned into 3 or 4
And they left and got into his car
And drove away someplace real far
Now babe the time has come
How’d ya like to have a little fun?
And she said
‘If we could only please be on our way, I will not run’

That’s when things got out of control
She didn’t want to, he had his way
She said, ‘Let’s Go’
he said, ‘No Way!’
‘Come on babe it’s your lucky day
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way
Come on baby don’t be afraid
If it wasn’t for date rape I’d never get laid’

He finished up and started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar
He said ‘Now baby don’t be sad
In my opinion you weren’t half-bad’
She picked up a rock
Threw it at the car
Hit him in the head
Now he’s got a big scar
Come on party people won’t you listen to me
Date rape stylee

The next day she went to her drawer
Look up her local attorney at law
Went to the phone and filed the police report
And then she took the guy’s ass to court
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed
‘She lies that little slut!’
The judge knew that he was full of shit
And he gave him 25 years
And now his heart is filled with tears

That night in jail it was getting late
He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed
But the guards paid no attention to his cries

That’s when things got out of control
The moral of the date rape story
It does not pay to be drunk and horny
But that’s the way it had to be
They locked him up and threw away the key
Well, I can’t take pity on men of his kind
even though he now takes it in the behind
Date rape!

She didn’t want to
She didn’t want to
She didn’t want to
She didn’t want to take it!
