Commonplace 4

A snippet from the song “Adam and Eve” by Ani Difranco. In context, the song is about how a woman feels scorned after her one-night stand expresses regret after being with her, since he thinks himself as too good to casually sleep with someone. I think the last line “just don’t treat me like I am something that happened to you” is especially powerful in the way that it addresses how someone can believe that they are superior to someone else as a way to deflect and shame for their own actions.
