LOU REED - Mistrial lyrics

rate me

When I was six, I had my first lady

when I was eight, my first drink

When I was fourteen, I was speeding in the street

what could anybody say to me

You can call me Mister, you can call me Sir

but don't you point your finger at me

I want a mistrial to clear my name

I want a mistrial in front of the people

I want a mistrial to clear my name

I want to bring my case to the people of New York City

When I was thirty, my attitude was bad

if I said differently it'd be a lie

But there's some smarts you learn down in the street

that a college education can't buy

You can call me Mister, or you can call me Sir

but don't you point your finger at me, oh

I want a mistrial to clear my name

I want a mistrial in front of the people

I want a mistrial to clear my name

I want to bring my case to in front of the people at New York City

You can call me Mister, or you can call me Sir

but don't you point your finger at me, yeah

I want a mistrial to clear my name

I want a mistrial in front of the people, I, I

I want a mistrial to clear my name

I want to bring my case to the people at New York City

And I said "M-I-S-T-R-I-A-L", mistrial

in front of all the people

I said "M-I-S-T-R-I-A-L", mistrial

in front of the people of New York City

Mistrial

.... the people of New York City

I said mistrial

"M-I-S-T-R-I-A-L" ....
