THE ACCUSED (OR NOT)

They put on some handcuffs and took him away 
Questions were saved for later on in the day 
The police were sure they had their man 
The accused arrested ended up in a van 

Taken to the cells the accused asked for a lawyer
One was appointed whose name was William Sawyer 
Questions now asked of where how and when
The accused remained silent so he was asked again 

Time moved on and the accused gave his reply
A case of mistaken identity I'm not going to lie
He was not guilty but was made out to be 
Looking for a scapegoat it appears to me
