Strangers are talking, bullshit is walking tonight
Young lovers are breaking
Pretending there's sweat in their eyes
The tears leave no trace in the lights
â€~Cause it's warming her face so she looks all right
You keep on escaping, the X is your alibi
Guilty as charged and you know that you ought to be
So drop the act and the bullshit and keep it real
Take what you like, here's a great opportunity
You shoot the sheriff and then shoot the deputy
Young women are dancing, showing their moves in the light
She's sticky and chewing, sweaty, I bet she's all right
The strangest hand has been dealt by the man on the roof
He was born and held down by choices that I'll never choose
You're guilty as charged and you know that you ought to be
So drop the act and the bullshit and keep it real
Take what you like, here's a great opportunity
You shoot the sheriff and then shoot the deputy
Shoot the deputy, let's shoot the deputy
He's hanging with the clowns
You're guilty as charged and you know that you ought to be
Soak up the act and the bullshit and keep it real
Take what you like, here's a great opportunity
You shoot the sheriff and then shoot the deputy
No, I'll shoot the sheriff
And you do the deputy's wife while you're at it
A great opportunity, I know you well
And you want it as bad as me
Guilty as charged and you know that we ought to be
Yeah, we ought to be, let's shoot the deputy
