Lyrics

I'm standing in the dock With my innocent hand on my heart

I've changed my plea I've changed my plea to guilty Because freedom is wasted on me See how your rules spoil the game?

Outside there is a pain Emotional air raids exhausted my heart And it's safer to be inside

So, I'm changing my plea And no one can dissuade me Because freedom is wasted on me See how your rules spoil the game?

Something I have learned If there is one thing in life I've observed It's that everybody's got somebody

Oh no, not me So I've changed my plea to guilty And reason and freedom is a waste It's a lot like life
