Lou Reed

Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed (born March 2, 1942) is an American rock musician, songwriter, and photographer. He is best known as guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter of The Velvet Underground, and for his solo career, which has spanned several decades. Though the Velvet Underground were a commercial failure in the late 1960s, the group has gained a considerable cult following in the years since its demise and has gone on to become one of the most widely cited and influential bands of the era. As the Velvet Underground's principal songwriter, Reed wrote about subjects of personal experience that rarely had been examined so openly in rock and roll, including sexuality and drug culture. more »

When I was six, I had my first lady
When I was eight, my first drink
When I was fourteen, I was speeding in the street
What could anybody say to me?

[Bridge]
You can call me Mister, you can call me Sir
But don't you point your finger at me

[Chorus]
I want a mistrial to clear my name
I want a mistrial in front of the people
I want a mistrial to clear my name
I want to bring my case to the people of New York City

When I was thirty, my attitude was bad
If I said differently, it'd be a lie
But there's some smarts you learn down in the street
That a college education can't buy

[Bridge]

I want a mistrial to clear my name
I want a mistrial in front of the people
I want a mistrial to clear my name
I want to bring my case in front of the people at New York City

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

And I said: "M-I-S-T-R-I-A-L", mistrial
In front of all the people
I said: "M-I-S-T-R-I-A-L", mistrial
In front of the people of New York City

Mistrial
The people of New York City
I said mistrial
"M-I-S-T-R-I-A-L"
