You say you didn't do it

That's what they all say

You said you weren't even there last night

That you had gone away

Witnesses tell another tale

You were at the scene

You did it right before their eyes

They swore you looked damn mean

And you're guilty

Gulity as charged

You're so guilty

Guilty as charged

You're guilty

So where were that fateful night

When all this shit went down

They didn't believe your constant lies

That you were out of town

The jury found you guilty

Your prints were everywhere

The judge's gavel hit the block

They grabbed you screaming "it's not fair"

Repeat chorus*

It wasn't meant to be this way

Your innocence was clear

You did it out of love,you said

You had to prove it without fear

Some people called you a hero

Others claimed that you were trash

You split their ears like thunder

Your fingers were just a flash

Repeat chorus*

Your story lives forever

Behind those cold steel bars

You rot away without a thing to say

You're on the Sidewalk of the Stars

They couldn't kill your music

They couldn't claim your soul

They charged you with a heinous crime

You committed Rock & Roll

Repeat chorus*
