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 !
-----
-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 !
-----
-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 !
