Third Degree
Navigating Life's Trials: Eddie Boyd's Third Degree Insights
Lyrics
They got me accused of peeping
Feeling wrongly accused of spying or intruding on someone's privacy.
And I can't see a thing
Unable to perceive or understand the situation clearly.
They got me accused of petting
Falsely charged with showing affection or touching inappropriately.
And I can't even raise my hand
Being unable to defend oneself or take action.
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
Experiencing a string of misfortune that's causing distress.
Well now you know I can't stand
Expressing a strong dislike for enduring interrogation or scrutiny.
No more of this third degree
Refusal to tolerate further intense questioning or harassment.
They got me accused of murder
Wrongly accused of committing murder, despite being innocent.
And I never harmed a man
Claiming innocence in causing harm to anyone.
They got me accused of forgery
Falsely charged with creating false documents or signatures.
And I can't even write my name
Unable to perform basic tasks due to false accusations.
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
Continued misfortune causing immense distress.
Well now you know I can't stand
Expressing a refusal to endure further intense scrutiny or questioning.
No more of this third degree
Firm stance against enduring more intense interrogation or pressure.
They got me accused of taxes
Incorrectly charged with tax-related issues despite financial constraints.
And I don't have another dime
Financially constrained, lacking even a small amount of money.
They got me accused of children
Falsely accused of having children, when in fact not responsible for any.
And ain't nary one of them mine
None of the children being attributed to the accused are actually theirs.
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
Continued streak of misfortune causing significant distress.
Well now you know I can't stand
Expressing a refusal to endure further intense scrutiny or questioning.
No more of this third degree
Firmly refusing to tolerate more intense interrogation or pressure.
