Caught Lyrics by Descendents

Everything Sucks

1996

[Verse 1]
Hear about the president?
He used to smoke pot
He never broke the law
'Cause he never got caught

[Chorus]
It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red-handed
Roll of the die says you're gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red-handed

[Verse 2]
Junkie drug dealer
Gets fifty years' time
While the millionaire murderer
Just pays a fine

[Chorus]
It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red-handed
Roll of the die says you're gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red-handed

[Refrain]
I'll pretend not to see
What you pretend you don't do
I'm innocent like you

[Verse 3]
So many stupid laws
Gonna have to break a few
Speed or run a red light
I might too
When the man pulls you over
Like it or not
You're just one of the many
Only you got caught

[Chorus]
It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red-handed
Roll of the die says you're gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red-handed

[Refrain]
I'll pretend not to see
What you pretend you don't do
I'm innocent—

[Chorus]
Sign of the times, ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red-handed
Roll of the die, gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red-handed
