Singing and Playing:
-VERSE1-
You see my hands are steady
You've seen my face before
Soon you can take your last look
And they'll close the door
I stand accused before you
I have no tears to cry
And you will never break me
'Til the day I die!
-----
-CHORUS-
A criminal mind is all I
All I've ever known
They tried to reform me
But I'm made of cold stone
My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad
I Am!
-----
-VERSE2-
I've spent my life behind these steel bars
I've paid my debt in time
But being brought to justice
That was my only crime
I don't regret a single action
I'd do the same again
These prison walls secure me
And I'm numb to pain
-----
-CHORUS-
A criminal mind is all I
All I've ever known
They tried to reform me
But I'm made of cold stone
My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad
I Am!
-----
-VERSE3-
Before you hand me over
Before you read my sentence
I'd like to say a few words
Here in my own defense
Some people struggle daily
They struggle with their conscience to the end
I have no guilt to haunt me
I feel the wrong intent
-----
-CHORUS-
A criminal mind is all I
All I've ever known
Don't try to reform me
Cuz I'm made of cold stone
My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad
I Am!
