lyrics
Maybe I’m the one your mum and dad warned you about
Maybe I’m the one whose intention you should doubt
I never signed a form to say a fair game
I would play
I never promised you that your man
I would stay
We’re all nearer the switch than we’d really like to think
And it doesn’t take a genius to see we’re all near the brink
I’m pretty near to being the guy for whom you cross the street
One more failed adventure and I will not be discreet
So put me at the scene of the crime
Because I have no alibi
I’m not as innocent as I might seem
But what reason do I have to lie?
Do I have to...
Take this down
Take stock of what you really know about me
Take some time to differentiate what you know and you believe
Can you really say for sure that I’m a good man in what’s only been a few weeks?
When you put it like that when you really think about it is it so hard to conceive?
We’re all nearer the switch than we’d really like to think
And it doesn’t take a genius to see we’re all near the brink
I’m pretty near to being the guy for whom you cross the street
One more failed adventure and I will not be discreet
So put me at the scene of the crime
Because I have no alibi
I’m not as innocent as I might seem
But what reason do I have to lie
So put me at the scene of the crime
Because I have no alibi
I’m not as innocent as I might seem
But what reason do I have to lie
Do I have to lie?
Maybe I’m the one whose intention you should doubt
I never signed a form to say a fair game
I would play
I never promised you that your man
I would stay
We’re all nearer the switch than we’d really like to think
And it doesn’t take a genius to see we’re all near the brink
I’m pretty near to being the guy for whom you cross the street
One more failed adventure and I will not be discreet
So put me at the scene of the crime
Because I have no alibi
I’m not as innocent as I might seem
But what reason do I have to lie?
Do I have to...

I’m not as innocent as I might seem
But what reason do I have to lie
So put me at the scene of the crime
Because I have no alibi
I’m not as innocent as I might seem
But what reason do I have to lie
Do I have to lie?

What a damn solid record! It's the perfect example of why I'm certain that Ska Punk is going to play on the highlight reel when I hit up the afterlife.
