lyrics

I ain’t got no alibi
no one to verify
where I was last night
and I ain’t talking to you
until my lawyer’s in the room
I’ve seen CSI

And you’re asking of me
for photographic memory
well that would be sweet
It was some two months ago
and I don’t even know
where I was last week

You ain’t getting a confession out of me
I’ll be, back out soon you’ll see

I had the means, motive, opportunity
I had the means, motive, opportunity
I had the means, motive, opportunity
But I swear, it weren’t me

In the identity parade
you were made
by two witnesses
who saw you threaten him
Well yeah that happened but it weren’t reasonless

We’ve got DNA, GSR
CCTV of your car
and some fingerprints
well some of that’s fabrication
the rest has a reasonable explanation
I didn’t do it
It’s a sticth up

You ain’t getting a confession out of me
I’ll be, back out soon you’ll see

I had the means, motive, opportunity
I had the means, motive, opportunity
I had the means, motive, opportunity
But I swear, it weren’t me
