Songs About Accusations

There's been a lot of talk about "accusations" of late. Unfortunately, there's probably a lot of truth to many of these allegations. Because I am occasionally topical in my posts, here's a collection of Songs About Accusations. Contrary to the usual, not all of these songs have the word "accusation" (in any form) in their titles, though all do prominently feature the word in the lyrics and "accusation" is the overall theme of the songs as well. I hesitate to implore you to...but, enjoy?  ~  JH
