Mistaken Identity

Undercover cop car

Came screeching to a halt

Body lying on the ground

Must be someone's fault



Circumstantial evidence

Seemed to point her way

Right to remain silent

Was all she heard them say



Blue dress, blue eyes

Blond hair, about five foot nine

Wrong place, wrong time

Wrong face, wrong crime



Mistaken identity

Could happen to you or to me

Mistaken identity



Mistaken identity

Could happen to you or to me

Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity



No money for a lawyer

To defend her case

Standing in the line-up

Tears rolling down her face



No one cared to listen

Someone had to take the heat

Sometimes there's no justice

When you're a victim of the street



Wrong place, wrong time

Wrong face, wrong crime

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong face



Wrong place, wrong time

Wrong face, wrong crime

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong face



Mistaken identity

Could happen to you or to me

Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity



Mistaken identity

Could happen to you or to me

Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity



They didn't even say

'I'm sorry'

Tried to put her away

In a hurry



Don't make her pay the price

She's not guilty, guilty

For someone else's crime

Set her free, set her free



Mistaken identity

Could happen to you or to me

Mistaken identity

Mistaken identity

Could happen to you or to me
