Undercover cop car
Came screeching to a halt
Body lying on the ground
Must be someone's faultCircumstantial evidence
Seemed to point her way
Right to remain silent
Was all she heard them sayBlue dress, blue eyes
Blond hair, about five foot nine
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crimeMistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me

Mistaken identityNo money for a lawyer
To defend her case
Standing in the line-up
Tears rolling down her faceNo one cared to listen
Someone had to take the heat
Sometimes there's no justice
When you're a victim of the streetWrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime

'I'm sorry'
Tried to put her away
In a hurryDon't make her pay the price
She's not guilty, guilty
For someone else's crime
Set her free, set her freeMistaken identity
