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 [bad word] for me to eat 
But I think your pulse would start [bad word] 

Now I'm not looking for absolution 
Forgiveness for the things I do 
But before [bad word] 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 you, 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 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 [bad word] 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
