Allegation Lyrics

Mick was friends with Ria

Since two thousand and nine

They stayed up late one evening

Drinking lots of wine

By the end of bottle four

They stumbled up the stairs

Drunken sex is common

In case you weren't aware

If you believe the allegation

At any given cost

The accused is always guilty

And the truth is often lost

In the morning Ria left

Feeling good about her day

At home her boyfriend waited

And he knew that she had strayed

He went at her for hours

She couldn't find escape

'Til they drove her down the station

To report that she'd been raped

If you believe the allegation

At any given cost

The accused is always guilty

And the truth is often lost

On the guidance of his lawyer

Mick didn't take the stand

For the stammer that he suffered

Might condemn him out of hand

The week the trial started

Weinstein hit the news

The jury tried in reason

But for Mick that spelled the blues

If you believe the allegation

At any given cost

The accused is always guilty

And the truth is often lost

So Mick was branded guilty

Despite his protests true

And the courts will not hear cases

Without evidence that's new

There could be maybe thousands

Who've been failed by the law

But for now there must be reform

Of that I'm pretty sure

If you believe the allegation

At any given cost

The accused is always guilty

And the truth is often lost
