Framed

[Verse 1]
I was sitting in a coffee shop, just minding my own affairs
When all of a sudden this policeman caught me unawares
He said, "Is your name Pedro?", I said, uh, "Yeah, I guess so"
He said, "Then come with me cause you're the man we been looking for"

[Chorus]
I said, "Hey, man, I've been framed"
Hey, no, really, man, I was framed
Aw, I never do nothing wrong, man
But every time I get the blame (I've been framed!)

[Verse 2]
They put me in the lineup and let the bright lights shine
There was ten poor dudes like me standing in that line
I knew I was the victim of somebody's evil plan
When this scroungy looking dude came up and said
"Yeah, that's him, man"

[Chorus]
Hey, wait a minute, man, I've been framed, man
Aw, listen to me, judge, I was framed
I never do nothing wrong
Aw, but every time I get the blame (Hey, I been framed!)

[Verse 3]
Then the prosecuting attorney started prosecuting on me
That dude gave me the first, second, and third degree
He said, "Where were you on the night of July 29?"
I said, "Man, I was home in bed"
He said, "Judge, that man is lying"

[Chorus]
I said, "Wait a minute, man, I was framed, man"
Hey judge, listen to me, man, really, you got to believe me, I been framed, man
I never do nothing wrong
Aw, but every time I get the blame (Oh, I was framed!)

[Verse 4]
Now look, I deny the charges of having any weed
And I also deny the charges of taking any speed
I deny the charges of selling any grass
But when the judge looked down and said "Guilty"
I said, "Judge, you can kiss my-" (Framed!)

[Chorus]
Judge, I'm telling you the truth, I was framed, man
I never do nothing wrong
Aw, but every time I get the blame (Hey, I was framed!)

[Outro]
Oh, framed
You got to believe me, judge
That wasn't even my stuff, I was holding it for a friend, man
Could this face life, man?
Oh, come on, judge, don't send me to camp, man
I just got my car fixed, man
Look, I just got a new tattoo and everything, man
Oh, man, what a bummer, man
Hey, come on, judge, give me a break, please
Aw, judge, come on, man, don't take me away, I was framed
Man, really I've been framed
