Testo The Wrong Man - Leo Sayer
Testo della canzone The Wrong Man (Leo Sayer), tratta dall'album Restless Years (Bonus Track Version)
I was set up, my credit was gone
I was a patsy in a world gone wrong
Because I revealed that the truth was a lie
Though I committed no sin, I committed no crime
So they locked me away and buried the key
So that the world would forget about me
Now I'm the boy in the bubble, I'm the link in the chain
I'm the cause and the trouble that's bringing you pain
I was set up, oh, I was deceived
Even my guardian angel cheated on me
Through the media hype, political waste
This dirty propaganda made me a figure of hate
All I needed was a few more days
All I needed was a friendly face
All I needed was a distant hope
Not a hopeless dream going up in smoke
All I needed was the air to breathe
All I needed was your belief
I wasn't looking for to change the world
To make my name or to fill my purse
Now there's no time, no time to live
No rail for the peace train on a broken bridge
But when the battle's over and the fear recedes
You'll see that your demon was just a little old me
I'm not important, it's not about my voice
I don't call these changes, I don't have such a choice
So please forgive me if I done you wrong
If I have strayed from the path we're on
All I'm saying is it's time to choose
All I'm saying is the honest truth
We're all living on a dead end street
People dying, hungry mouths to feed
Oh, I know that the pressure's on
I don't know where the next buck comes from
Must be something more to it all
Than to sit and contemplate in our decline and fall
So be damned, let's take the stand
And though it won't be easy, we'll follow the plan
With documentary evidence, undeniable proof
Why deny the ocean when it's a mountain of truth?
So if you agree that water makes sand
Why deny the ocean when you got the wrong man?
And like the truth is written, why deny the proof?
Why deny the evidence? It's the burden of proof
But just for a moment, a moment in time
The truth comes out and the world will be fine
But if you're looking in the ocean, why deny the sand?
You're looking in the wrong place
When you got the wrong man
