I should've known better We did this together So this is it I'm complicit And I'm on trial They pass out their judgement What I say's redundant All minds are made Our price is paid I'm going away Ooh... I didn't mean for this Ooh... No reward, but all the risk Did the crime Doing my time Taking the blame for us I heard you're the victim You cheated the system Well, life isn't fair And I wouldn't dare Dispute your claim They'll say I deserve this And my love is worthless So I'll remain Here in these chains They'll forget my name Ooh... I didn't mean for this Ooh... No reward, but all the risk Did the crime Doing my time Taking the blame for us Oh, you were there that night Twenty-three years to life Still, you're justified I'm taking ownership While you're pleading the Fifth I know you've got scars on your mind Believe me, I've got mine And you walked that line And you made it out fine Ah, ooh... I live without shame Can you say the same? Take the blame
