Someone said we should go to bed,
we`d had enough excitement.
In a legal sense there was no evidence
for a criminal indictment.

Life is shocks and paradox,
attractions and divisions.
But there`s no immunity to opportunity,
you have to make decisions.

The biggest crime is wasting time,
the infinite potential.
When you`re cheap you always reap
much less that what`s essential.

A genius at work is just a jerk,
slaving for success.
Innocence betrayed lies in the shade,
in a wedding dress.

Your foot`s on the brake on a frozen lake
that used to be a highway.
There`s hell to pay but you can only say,
"I always did it my way."

He was a son-of-a-gun and he had some fun
and his last words are famous.
He was sadistic and futuristic
and now they`re trying to blame us.

Those who confess under duress
wish they could be quiet.
But when they`re accused of being used
they always deny it.

We`re drowning in debt and it`s too hard to get
any credit for prevention.
So just sing a song and do everything wrong,
it`s one way to get attention.
