The Trial

Why were you so late last night
I heard you sneak in the door
The sight of you was such a fright
In a puddle of sweat on the floor

Well you see
It's only temporary
Well you see
It's my way of getting by
Well you see
I have no other reason why
So goodbye

Why were you so drunk last night
I smelled your breath at the door
The sight of you was such a fright
Puking on a cop car's carpet floor

Well you see
It's only temporary
Well you see
I'm sober as can be
Well you see
Don't point your dirty
Little finger at me
Not at me

Well you see
It's only temporary
Well you see
It's my way of getting by
Well you see
I have no further alibi
So goodbye
Goodbye

[Guitar Solo]

When are you going to give up on your ways
When are you going to snap out of your daze
When will you say that enough is enough
Life isn't easy but it isn't that tough

Well you see
It's only temporary
Well you see
It's my way of getting by
Well you see
The courts will believe my alibi
So goodbye
Goodbye

Is this really worth my while
To stand up, go, and face the trial
I've got a few issues; Yeah I'm in denial
Blaming others like it's going out of style

The day has come I have my trial
Consequences ensuing for a while
The word is out it has gone viral

Maybe I should listen next time
Before I'm in this downward spiral
Maybe I should think next time
Before I'm the defendant at a trial

This delinquent is gonna do
All that he can
To become a better man...
