Текст песни
Now I've been here so many times before
Police keep knocking hard on my front door
Say there's been misdemeanors, say they've got evidence
I could sure use a witness,'cos I've got no defense, won't somebody
Be my alibi, 'cos I don't know where to begin
In the court of public opinion, I'm going down again
There ain't no way I'll win, 'cos I'm as guilty as sin
In the court of public opinion
I'm going down again
Going down going down now
Said I'm going down again
Let me move on, oh now, let me move on, listen
Three years later still can't get no luck
I guess all those rumors must have stuck
Times I've changed location but they still track me down
Same old situation just in a different town, won't somebody
Be my alibi, 'cos I don't know where to begin
In the court of public opinion, I'm going down again
There ain't no way I'll win, 'cos I'm as guilty as sin
In the court of public opinion
I'm going down again
Going down going down now
Said I'm going down again
Going down going down now
Said I'm going down again
I know it wasn't right
But it was such a long hot beautiful night
And lord knows I paid the price
For just a little taste of paradise
Say there's been misdemeanors, say they've got fresh evidence
I could sure use a witness,'cos I've got no defense, won't somebody
Be my alibi, 'cos I don't know where to begin
In the court of public opinion, I'm going down again
There ain't no way I'll win, 'cos I'm as guilty as sin
In the court of public opinion
I'm going down again
Going down going down now
Said I'm going down again
Going down going down now
Said I'm just going down again
Going down going down now
Said I'm just going down again
