I've seen a lot of criminals
I've seen a lot of crimes
Doing a lot of evil deeds
Doing a lot of time
We speak of these men as aliens
>From some forbidden race
We speak of these men as animals
We will lock in a cage
same alternating chords)
But there's one man I must arrest
I must interrogate
One man that I must make confess
Then rehabilitate
There is no other I can blame
No other I can judge
No other I can cast in shame
Then require blood
same alternating chords)
I see him in the shadows down the hall
I see him in the plaster on the wall
There is no crime he cannot commit
No murder too complex
His heart is filled with larceny
And violence and sex
His heart is filled with envy
And revenge and greed
His heart is filled with nothing
His heart is filled with need
He' s capable of anything
Of any vicious act
This criminal is dangerous
The criminal under my own hat.
