In Vain

Carolina and Nicole are two of the best of friends
Walking home at 7:30 past five drunk Hispanic men
No sense even in listening when you've heard it all before
There's no sense in convincing when to them you're always the white whore

She said, "It wasn't all in vain"
She said "It helped me get in touch with my pain"
She doesn't mean the things she says
She once told me she wished that she was dead

Talking about old Motown records
Walking home at night
Carolina and Nicole are not about to give up without a fight
Not about to admit feeling so alone
"Have you ever had a real man baby?
Can I walk you home?"

She said, "It wasn't all in vain"
She said "It helped me get in touch with my pain"
She doesn't mean the things she says
She once told me she wished that she was dead

And you think that I'm bad because I don't finish all that I started
But for you the last Husker Du must have seemed something cathartic
I don't feel that I can know you any more
