I wasn't in the room
When the action was goin' down
I may have been there once
But at the time I was out of townI'm seeing strange fruit
They're saying, "Off with his head"
And one way or another
I'll end up deadYou got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I'll do what I canI plead not guilty to the charges
You've laid out on your desk
I know what you're thinking
"Oh yeah, this is a DSF"I think I'm Prime Ministerial material
But I can't lie to you
So I'm out of the running
But from here in my cell I imagine
"Oh, wouldn't that be something?"You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I'll do what I canCan you hear me up there?
Can you hear me up there?You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I canYou got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong guy
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
