A Criminal Mind — текст песни (Lawrence Gowan)

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
Till the day I die

(Chorus)
A criminal mind is all I`ve
All I`ve ever known
They tried to reform me
But I`m made of cold stone
My criminal mind is all I`ve
All I`ve ever had
Ask one who`s known me
If I`m really so bad...
I AM

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

repeat chorus

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
Till the end
I have no guilt to haunt me
I feel no wrong intent

A criminal mind is all I`ve
All I`ve ever known
Don`t try to reform me
Cause 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
Oh I AM
Oh I AM
I`m made of cold stone
Made of cold stone
Just like these prison walls
A criminal mind
Oh

Made of cold stone
I`m made of cold stone
Just like your prison walls
I`m made of cold stone
A criminal mind
I am
A criminal mind...
