It Wasn’t Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It wasn't me, I wasn't there I was just watchin' from over here And besides, I couldn't afford the bus fare In Hollywood and Washington They shake and smile through the harm they've done But it's your little red wagon and you've gotta pull it [Chorus] It'll take a lifetime to clear your name Under the bridges of fame, it's always nighttime [Verse 2] It wasn't me, I wasn't there I was stone-drunk, it isn't clear And it doesn't count, 'cause I don't care The years transform my memories Of all the countless decades of greed It was cut and run in '91 [Chorus] Put yourselves in a straight-jacket But when you plead insane, it's no cheaper than humiliation That's free That's free That's free [Verse 3] I've gone and quit my worshippin' Of the false gods and golden sins 'Cause we made love in the Tower of Babel And it fell down [Verse 4] It wasn't me, I wasn't there That was not my love affair That is not my lover, that's not even my friend It wasn't me, I wasn't there I was stone-drunk, it isn't clear And it doesn't count, 'cause I don't care [Chorus] But I'll use a pop song to clear my name Under the bridges of fame, it's always nighttime I'll end with a closer and say goodnight [Outro] Say goodnight Jenny
