Framed
Injustice Unveiled: Framed for Another's Deed
Lyrics
I was walkin' down the street, mindin' my own affair
I was walking down the street, minding my own business
When two policemen grabbed me, unaware
Two policemen unexpectedly grabbed me
He says ´Is your name Henry?´ I says´Why sure´
One of them asks if my name is Henry, and I confirm
He says ´You the boy I´m lookin´ for´
He informs me that I'm the person they are searching for
I was framed,framed,I was blamed,framed
I claim innocence, stating that I was framed and blamed
Well,I never knew nothin', but I always get blamed
Despite not knowing anything, I always end up being accused
Oh, framed
Emphasis on being framed
They took him in the line up and let those bright
I am taken to a lineup under bright lights
Lights shine,there was ten poor souls like me in that line
There are ten individuals, including me, in the lineup
I knew I was a victim of someones evil plan
I realize I'm a victim of someone's malicious plan
When a stool pigeon walked in and says´ There´s your man´
A witness points at me, identifying me as the culprit
I was framed,framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed
Reiteration of being framed and blamed
Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get blamed
Despite my ignorance, I always end up taking the blame
Framed
Reaffirmation of being framed
(Let it go one time)
An exclamation, possibly signaling frustration or resignation
Well, the prosecuting attorney started prosecutin' me
The prosecuting attorney starts questioning and accusing me
Man,that cat didn't give me the one,but the third degree
He intensifies the interrogation, subjecting me to the third degree
He says´Where were you on the night of July 19, 1953?´
The attorney asks about my whereabouts on a specific date
´Man I was just home just a tweedle-a-dee´
I respond, claiming to have been at home
I was framed oh framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed well,
Repetition of being framed and blamed
I never knew nothin', but I always get blamed
Despite my lack of knowledge, I always end up being accused
Oh framed,oh framed...
Reiteration of being framed
