Wrong About Me

From my humble beginning To our bitter end You were the one who was pretending That I was your orphan In a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn I found a new place to dwell I tore up my ticket to Tennessee And checked out of the Hollywood hotel You can call me a turncoat Challenge my dignity But you were wrong about me Honey you were wrong all along about me Take of your plastic halo But don't shun the monks inside your head Give it to the gullible grooms Who drink their snake oil beside your bed In your conjured up courtroom My integrity is on trial The prosecution is gathering Evidence from denial You can preach to the choir Say that I'm guilty But you were wrong about me Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me Go tell all your friends about it Tell the boys back home about it Tell your nurses and nuns about it Go tell all your cats about it You were wrong, you were wrong You were wrong, you were wrong You were wrong, you were wrong You were wrong, you were wrong about me You were wrong, you were wrong about me Stubborn cowboys click their boot heels They're all settling their debts I'm not making any more deals I ain't placing no more bets Downtown on wall street Where the millionaires smoke their cigars I traded all my savings for a new suit And an electric guitar You could say that I sold out But nobody works for free And you were wrong about me Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me, about me Honey you were wrong all along about me Wrong about me
