Lyrics
:

Well take a look and listen to the things that I have said
Could I really tell the truth with a rifle at my head
I gunned down a president I have done a crime
But now you've got to listen 'cos I'm running out of time

It's not me that you're after
It's not me that's gonna pay
It's not me that is guilty
It's a man from the C.I.A.

Well I got put in jail because I got into a fight
And while I was in prison I got beat up every night
Well torture it was blackmail I was messed up with cocaine
I even got to thinking but then I knew just who to blame

It's not me that you're after
It's not me that's gonna pay
It's not me that is guilty
It's a man at the C.I.A.

So there I stood before him a revolver in my hand
With one shot for the torture and a bullet for the man
So now I'm UP FOR MURDER on a charge I can't deny
Well there ain't no clues I'm bom to lose and no ones gonna ask me why

It's not me that you're after
It's not me that's gonna pay
It's not me that is guilty
It's a man at the C.I.A.

It's not me that you're after
It's not me that's gonna pay
It's not me that is guilty
It's a man at the C.I.A.

C.I.A.

C.I.A.

The C.I.A.
