I'm Not The Guilty Man Songtext

von JFK-where is the vision? The Rock Opera

Why do they despise me
Why do they deride me
Don't they know the madness swirling round in my head
I know I do offend you
But without me there would be no legend
There simply would be no legend

I'm not the guilty man

So the world needs a scapegoat
Anyone will do
Someone unimportant
Someone no one knew
No good protesting innocence
I know there can be no defence
It's the oldest trick in the book
Let's cook the evidence

I'm not the guilty man

How can you have a jury without a crime
You can't play the future before its time
But the last laugh is mine you'll agree
Did I conspire, or was it just me

I'm not the guilty man
