| Now, the courtroom is quiet but who will confess? | |
| Is it true you betrayed us? | |
| The answer is yes | |
| Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine | |
| I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline | |
| And all the ladies go moist and the judge has no choice | |
| A singer must die for the lie in his voice | |
| And I thank you, | |
| I thank you for doing your duty | |
| You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty | |
| Your vision is right, my vision is wrong | |
| I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song | |
| Oh the night, it is thick, my defenses are hid | |
| In the clothes of a woman | |
| I would like to forgive | |
| In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs | |
| Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise | |
| Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night | |
| My night after night, after night, after night, after night, after night | |
| I am so afraid that | |
| I listen to you | |
| Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you | |
| It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace | |
| Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face | |
| Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made | |
| Sir, I didn't see nothing, | |
| I was just getting home late |
