they made him a criminal
yeah that`s what he am
he didn`t really want to be desperado of man
he tried to turn the nation
you seen him on every station
he keeps saying son, it`s alright
someone had to play the part
show us things as they are
we were so locked up in fright
he had to take it this far
he didn`t mean to grap that weapon
he didn`t mean to kill no one
he keeps saying son, it`s alright.
strike out - when you`re feelin lonely
hit out - when you`re the one and only
blow up - when everything in phoney
they made me a criminal
a television terrorist
the only news of the world
darling of the media
the coolist thing since errol flynn
did you see him on russel harty
he`s bigger than the government party
they set him free `cause son it`s alright
