[Verse 1] First time I ever killed a man Oh it was just an accident That pistol wound up in my hand First time i ever killed a man That powder fell into his drink He chugged all but the kitchen sink It was merely just an act of chance First time i ever killed a man [Chorus 1] Oh the nation needs an explanation A complication in my plan Give me a good onceover But in your full disclosure Officer, please understand [Verse 2] He seemed to fall into that tarp The knife just happened to be sharp I peeled him off the frying pan First time i ever killed a man [Chorus 2] Now the nation needs an explanation A complication in my plan Its all a little hazy But he was acting crazy Your Honor, cant you understand [Verse 3] I swear this isnt what it seems That blade he took was meant for me The tables turned, shit hit the fan First time I ever killed a man [Chorus 3] I guess the nation needs an explanation A complication in my plan I didnt wanna do it But hed have beat me to it Jury, wont you understand [Verse 4] This is just my first offense I acted out of selfdefense If you only knew the circumstance Ill bet your ass you would have killed that man
