Lyrics
:
"I'd like to sing this song called Up For Murder" Well take a look and listen to the things that I have said Well could I really tell the truth with a rifle at my head Yeah, I gunned down a president And 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 at the C.I.A. So I got put in jail because I got into a fight And while I was in prison I got beat up every night Torture it was blackmail I was messed up with cocaine And then they had me thinking that I knew just who to blame But 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 with 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 with the C.I.A. Hey hey hey 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 Wll 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 with 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 with the C.I.A. C.I.A. C.I.A. The C.I.A. "Thank you, this is Mike Peters"
