Case 23

I should've known better

We did this together

So this is it

I'm complicit

And I'm on trial

They pass out their judgement

What I say's redundant

All minds are made

Our price is paid

I'm going away

Ooh

I didn't mean for this

Ooh

No reward but all the risk

Did the crime

Doing my time

Taking the blame for us

I heard you're the victim

You cheated the system

Well life isn't fair

And I wouldn't dare

Dispute your claim

They'll say I deserve this

And my love is worthless

So I'll remain

Here in these chains

They'll forget my name

Ooh

I didn't mean for this

Ooh

No reward but all the risk

Did the crime

Doing my time

Taking the blame for us

Oh you were there that night

Twenty-three years to life

Still you're justified

I'm taking ownership

While you're pleading the fifth

I know you've got scars on your mind

Believe me I've got mine

And you walked that line

And you made it out fine

Ah ooh

I live without shame

Can you say the same

Take the blame
