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
forbiden 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

chorus

You'll stumble in my footsteps
keep the some appointments
I kept
if you try walking in my shoes
if yu try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
decency look down upon
the scapegoat fate's made of me
but I promise you now my
judge and jurors
my intentions could'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

repeat chorus

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

repeat chorus twice

Try walking in my shoes
if you try walking in my shoes
try walking in my shoes
