Witness For The Prosecution

Well I was standing on the corner
In the middle of the street
Well I was minding my own business
Trying to be discreet
Too much time on my hands
Too much wine , one night stands

I was looking for some easy action
Being born to the point of distraction
When suddenly I saw a man
With a shotgun in his hands
Running off on the back

Now I'm a witness for the prosecution (x4)
Swear by almighty God
That answers I will give
Will be the truth, the whole truth
And nothing but the truth
I'm a witness for the prosecution (x3)
Sure looks like a mess, how did I get into this

I didn't want to get involved
I'm just a humble silly dude
But the cop was so persuasive
I just could not confuse, hey

Listen son , said a voice
Tested by you got no choice
I didn't want no aggravation
So I accepted the situation

You said you're making a mistake
You don't cooperate
You better not change your mind

Now I'm a witness for the prosecution (x4)
Swear by almighty God
That answers I will give
Will be the truth, the whole truth
And nothing but the truth
I'm a witness for the prosecution (x3)
Sure looks like a mess, how did I get into this
