Framed Lyrics by Canned Heat

The New Age

0

I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affair
When two policemen grab me, I was unaware
Says "Your name Bear?" I said "Why sure"
"Well, then you're the boy we been lookin' for"
I got framed
Well, I was blamed (Ah, that's the truth)
I didn't do nothin' wrong
But I always get framed, I get blamed
"Say, where was you on the night of June 29?"
Well I's in bed, he said "Jury, that hippie's lyin'"
I knew I was the victim of some scoundrel's evil plan
When a stool pigeon walked in and said "Er, uh, that's the man"
I was framed
Well, I was blamed
Never do nothin' wrong
But I always get framed, I get blamed
Denied the charges of robbin' the liquor store
Denied the charges of carryin' a 44
Denied the charges of vagrancy, too
But when the judge walked out, put a reefer in my pocket, poured whiskey on my head, turned around to the jury and said "Convict, that hippie's an addict" What could I do?
I got framed
Lord, I was blamed, people, I'm goin' insane
Never do nothin' wrong
But I, I always get framed, I get blamed
(Ah, blow it away, Henry)
I'm not a crazy man, but there's one thing I know
How to wring out a ball to make that green grass grow
Ain't do nothing wrong, just wanna have some fun
Whiskey was illegal in 1931
It's a shame
Aw, babe, it's a shame
Never do nothin' wrong
But we always get framed, we get blamed
Just one more thing here, people, before I go
We're all gonna reap exactly what we sow
Don't do nothin' wrong, don't get yourself uptight
Just stay cool and things gonna be alright
It's alright
Whoa, baby, it's alright, you look so right
Don't you get yourself uptight
Lord, I said things gonna be alright, gonna be alright
Don't you do nothin' wrong
And you'll never get framed or get blamed
