Lyrics
NEVER GONNA FESS UP

Verse 1:
You ache to pin on me a guilt trip
You virtuous paragon you
You probe for the smallest crumb I'll let slip
Good luck with that
That's all I'm tellin' you
Chorus:
NEVER GONNA FESS UP
Not to this
I'm so not guilty now
If and when I mess up
I'll be man enough to fess up then
Verse 2:
Don't judge me by your own standards
Duplicitous hypocrite you
Get your own house in order first
(Spoken) What crime?
(Sung) Then you'll deserve more of my time
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Call that evidence?!
(Spoken) Ha!
Repeat Chorus twice
Repeat Chorus once more (Softer on lines 1-3, lines 4 & 5 full strength again)
