  • You don't have to take the bar exam to see
    What you've done is ignoramus 103
    What've I got to hang my hat on?
    You don't have a pot to pee in
    All this just to be your friend
    I was there until the end
    Extortion and arson, petty larceny

    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you hung up my line
    Star 69

    I know all about the warehouse fire
    I know squirrels didn't chew the wires
    Three people have my number
    The other two were with me
    I don't like to tell-tell but I'm not your patsy
    This time you have gone too far with me

    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you hung up my line
    Star 69

    Why'd you put your quarter down on me?
    This reads like some dork inside edition hard copy
    I can't be your character witness
    I can't be your alibi
    Doorbell rings it's the FBI
    We learned Spy vs. Spy
    You, my friend, are guilty as can be

    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you hung up my line

    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I know you called
    I can't be your alibi

  • Hugh from Kansas City, MoInquiring about me? Why?
    I like the return to the electrics by REM on this album. It was popular shortly after my son was born....who we call 'Bear'. He's still a Monster!
