innocent man

The Jam

Well, nothing seems too clear to him anymore
Well, funny how he's the one who's always so confused
People point the finger, they all look at him
Well, can't somebody tell him what he's done wrong?

Well, what has he done to you or someone?
Nobody speaks or should he know?
Thinks their all to blame, nothing clear to him anymore
Can't think straight, can't sort himself out

Innocent, that man, you know he is
Innocent, don't lie, you know you have
Innocent, he'll die if the truth is missed out

The time has come
For that man to be hung
I hope you're convinced
That he was the one

It's alright for you, just another case
You don't give a damn, just another face
But what about his friends, his family and his wife?
You don't have the right to take that man's life

An innocent man condemned by you
Instead of him, it should be you

Innocent, that man, you know he is
Innocent, don't lie, you know you have
Innocent, hell die if the truth is missed out
