Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm mixin' up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that will rock, the boat will rock
Make a bomb of love and blow it up
[Chorus]
I did it, do you think I've gone too far?
I did it, guilty as charged
I did it, was me right or wrong
I did it, yeah
[Chorus]
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside, I didn't know at all
I open up the curtains, I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice, I just did it for us all
[Chorus]
It's a nickel or a dime for what I've done
The truth is that I don't really care
For such a lovely crime, I'll do the time
You better lock me up, I'll do it again
[Chorus]
I did it, do you think I've gone too far?
I did it, guilty as charged
I did it, was me right or wrong
I did it, yeah
[Chorus]
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside, I didn't know at all
I open up the curtains, I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice, I just did it for us all, you know
[Verse 2]
All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat that collared me
Oh, and what I gotta say to you
You got love, don't turn it down, turn it loud, let it build
We got a long way to go but you gotta start somewhere
Go door to door, spread the love you got
You got the love, you get what you want
Doesn't matter where you get it from
I for one don't turn my cheek for anyone
Un-turn your cheek to give your love, love to grow
[Chorus]
I did it, do you think I've gone too far?
I did it, guilty as charged
I did it, was me right or wrong?
I did it, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
I did it, I told you, I told you I did
I did it, guilty as charged
I did it, I told you, I told you I did
I did it, yeah
[Verse 3]
I never did a single thing that did a single thing
To change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside, I didn't know at all
I open up the curtains, I heard sirens there, the lights flash and crawl
But I did it justice, swear I did it for us all, you know
