All, all that I know

Is that I stand here before you as criminal

For what I have done, and for what I still am doing

What you see is wrong

But I'm just watching the sunset and playing my old song

So why did you even have to come along

And all, all that am

Is a good man searching for some truth

So why, why mess with me

Just cos you say I'm doing something wrong against society

But I'm just having a smoke and playing guitar, can't you see

But I made the mistake and thought I was free

Thought I was, thought I was free

Thought I was, thought I was free

Well you got your alcohol and your tobacco and you make your money off

And your sending our kids off to war and your killing all of us

But I can not have a smoke, no, cos your whole world come crumbling down

No I cannot smoke a spliff, no, cos your whole world come crumbling down

I don't think so, I don't think so

All, all that I know

Is that I stand here before you as criminal

For what I have done, and for what I still am doing

What you see is wrong

But I'm just watching the sunset and playing my old song

So why did you even have to come along

Hey man, why won't you just, won't you just leave me alone
