[Verse 1: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
Frances, she lost forty ponds
So what about me?
Well, I don't know much about anything
But I know I've got to pay
They never feed me
Never let me watch TV
They're gonna wish they
Never fucked with me

[Verse 2: Howlin' Pelle]
Spotlight pointed in my face
What's going on?
They're about to punish me for something
All of us would have done
I managed to escape
But I wasn't gone for long
They're holding me down, twisting my arm saying
"You're the one to blame"

[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle, Nicholaus Arson]
Still I haven't got a clue
What's really on my mind
If you just got off my back
The truth will be easier to find
[Chorus: Howlin' Pelle / Arson / Vigilante Carlstroem]
How can they say
That it was I?
How can they say that
It was I who broke the chain?
So what's with me?
I'm such a mess
Mr. Twist-My-Arm is
Forcing me to confess

[Verse 3: Howlin' Pelle]
Don't know what's come over me
Don't know what popped out
But I think I'm beginning to sense
What this is really all about
They're looking for someone like me
For someone to blame
To take a fall, to take a dive
For someone they can frame

[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle, Arson]
Still I haven't got a clue
What's really on my mind
If you just got off my back
The truth will be easier to find
[Chorus: Howlin' Pelle / Arson / Vigilante]
How can they say
That it was I?
How can they say that
It was I who broke the chain?
So what's with me?
I'm such a mess
Mr. Twist-My-Arm is
Forcing me to confess

[Refrain: Howlin' Pelle]
Still I haven't got a clue
What's really on my mind
If you just got off my back
The truth will be easier to find

[Chorus: Howlin' Pelle / Arson / Vigilante]
How can they say
That it was I?
How can they say that
It was I who broke the chain?
So what's with me?
I'm such a mess
Mr. Twist-My-Arm is
Forcing me to confess
