hey, look
you’ve got the wrong guy
this must be a mistake
a case of mistaken identity, really
I was somewhere else
when that happened
I have an alibi, man
friends
witnesses
look, you can get in alot of trouble
making false accusations like this
I could sue you
for every penny you’ve got
defamation of character
mental anguish
yeah, goddamnit
this is mental anguish
cruel and unusual punishment
what did I ever do to you, anyway
you better lighten up, motherfucker
I have an airtight alibi, alright
i’ll never do it again anyway
I promise
