Lyrics
"I'M Not Guilty"
he lived at home
with his sister
at the age of 46
came from a family
of over achievers
with one exception
it was it was him
he tried to leave
it was too much to take
when he returned
he was damaged
and drenched with hate
he stole an antique
colt revolver
killed a man
and this is what he said
I'm not guilty....
But I'll tell who done it
I've been a victim all my life he said
and woe is me and on and on again
she had a class that never listened
and then a husband...
that never paid attention
making paychecks
teaching history
human anatomy on her mind
little Ville was the lucky one
she came to rescue
the neglected son
but when one thing
lead to another one
she wound up carrying his child
her husband didn't know
how could he know
she was expecting
but when they cuffed her
at the doorway of their home
he got the message
the only thing
that she could say
in the midst of the twisted situation I'm innocent
and if love is crime
you'll always be my alibi
(Chorus)
and so the saga keeps unfolding
don't ever take the blame and
keep the fingers pointing
you were caught ..
red hands at the crime scene
you never stopped talking
bout your miserable life
were fourteen
caught with your pants at your ankles
now you're 46 incarcerated and shackled
for a memory
that you refuse to get past
just a boy in the body of a man
that says
(Chorus repeat)
