Framed
I'm walking down the street mindin' my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me and I'm unaware
They said "Is your name Alexander?" and I said "Why, sure!"
They said "You're the cat that we've been looking for."
But I was framed
I was framed
I never did nothing
But now I was, I was framed
The cops took me to a little room where the bright lights shine
There was ten poor souls like me standin' in the line
I knew I was the victim of somebody's evil plan
When a stool pigeon looked at me an' said....
That's your man!
But I was framed
I was framed
I never did nothing
But now I was, I was framed
Then the public prosecutor started prosecutin' me
That man wanted to find what was my pedigree
He said "Where were you on the third of June 1963?"
Them cats with rubber hoses started givin' me the third degree....
But I was framed
I was framed
I never did nothing
But now I was, I was framed. framed, ...
Enquadrado
Eu tô andando na rua, cuidando da minha vida
Quando dois policiais me pegaram, sem eu perceber
Eles disseram "Seu nome é Alexander?" e eu respondi "Claro!"
Eles disseram "Você é o cara que estamos procurando."
Mas eu fui enquadrado
Eu fui enquadrado
Nunca fiz nada
Mas agora eu fui, eu fui enquadrado
Os policiais me levaram pra uma salinha onde a luz é forte
Tinha dez almas perdidas como eu, na fila, sem sorte
Eu sabia que era vítima de um plano maligno
Quando um dedo-duro olhou pra mim e disse....
Esse é o cara!
Mas eu fui enquadrado
Eu fui enquadrado
Nunca fiz nada
Mas agora eu fui, eu fui enquadrado
Então o promotor começou a me processar
Aquele cara queria saber qual era meu passado
Ele disse "Onde você estava no dia três de junho de 1963?"
Aqueles caras com mangueiras de borracha começaram a me pressionar....
Mas eu fui enquadrado
Eu fui enquadrado
Nunca fiz nada
Mas agora eu fui, eu fui enquadrado, enquadrado, ...
