Where were you

who did you see

what did you do ?

was there someone else there

someone you knew ?

On November twenty-second

I’m sure I saw you run

you looked kind of guilty

throwing away that gun ;

were you alone or was

someone with you at the scene,

and who could that someone else have been ?

When the time comes in a Mall or market square

wearing a heavy vest and carrying a phone

you’ll be there,

why can’t I see you I can only guess

you won’t be calling home with the numbers you press,

and when it happens what they’ll see

is that the someone else I’ve been blaming

turns out to be me.
