I would tell you about the things they put me through   The pain I've been subjected to   But the Lord himself would blush   The countless feasts laid at my feet   Forbidden fruits for me to eat   But I think your pulse would start to rush      Now I'm not looking for absolution   Forgiveness for the things I do   But before you come to any conclusions   Try walking in my shoes   Try walking in my shoes      You'll stumble in my footsteps   Keep the same appointments I kept   If you try walking in my shoes   If you try walking in my shoes      Morality would frown upon   Decency look down upon   The scapegoat fate's made of me   But I promise now, my judge and jurors   My intentions couldn't have been purer   My case is easy to see      I'm not looking for a clearer conscience   Peace of mind after what I've been through   And before we talk of any repentance   Try walking in my shoes   Try walking in my shoes      You'll stumble in my footsteps   Keep the same appointments I kept   If you try walking in my shoes   If you try walking in my shoes   Try walking in my shoes      Now I'm not looking for absolution   Forgiveness for the things I do   But before you come to any conclusions   Try walking in my shoes   Try walking in my shoes      You'll stumble in my footsteps   Keep the same appointments I kept   If you try walking in my shoes   You'll stumble in my footsteps   Keep the same appointments I kept   If you try walking in my shoes   Try walking in my shoes   If you try walking in my shoes   Try walking in my shoes
