If I’d known you were wearing a wire
I might not have told that last joke
If I’d known you were wearing a wire
I might have turned down that line of coke
If I’d known that the bureau would be listening in
I would have left out my more original sins
If I’d known what the embassy would put me through
I would have told them all about you
If I’d known you were wearing a wire
I would have stayed this side of the river
If I’d known you were wearing a wire
I never would have volunteered to deliver
If I’d known the commissioner would take it to heart
I’d have turned back that shipment of foreign-made parts
If I’d known what the company was planning to do
I would have told them all about you
’Cause you were the one
Who got me into this mess
You drove me to that shady address
I know it was you
Who leaked it straight to the press
Now I’m under duress
You should be made to confess
If I’d known you were wearing a wire
I might have alerted my staff
Throw both sets of books in the fire
Grab my laptop and chop it in half
If I’d known that the limos were already en route
I’d have been in the bunker before they could shoot
If I’d known what the agency would put me through
I would have told them all about you
They’ve surrounded the farm
Cut the alarm
Heavily armed and out to do me harm
I’m burning my papers
Erasing my drives
Praying my family
Can get out alive
I’m taking enemy fire
