[Verse 1]
I wasn't in the room when the action was going down
I may have been there once but at the time I was out of town
I'm seeing strange fruit, they're saying off with his head
One way or another I'll end up dead

[Chorus]
You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I can

[Verse 2]
I plead not guilty to the charges you've laid out on your desk
I know what you're thinking:
"Oh yes, this is a DSF"
I think I'm prime ministerial material but I can't lie to you
So I'm out of the running
But from here in my cell I imagine
Oh, wouldn't that be something?

[Chorus]
You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I can
[Bridge]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Can you hear me out there?
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Can you hear me out there?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I can

[Outro]
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong guy
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
