Lyrics:
Well I was walking through the shops at the mall
A gold Versace watch was hanging up on the wall
No, I didn’t have the money to ball
So I thought about taking it
I saw this movie playing up in my head
I walk outside and jack a Mercedes Benz
Go driving down the 5 and even though it’s pretend
Maybe I’m a maniac
If it were illegal to have evil in the mind
If they cut me open wonder would they be surprised
Or are there other people who are equally inclined
To think the heinous things I think about
Is it only me
Is it unnatural to,
To have these thoughts sometimes
Am I alone or am I
Some type of criminal
If they could read my mind
Would they lock me up for life
Lock me up for life
Would they lock me up for life
Lock me up for life
There’s things I wouldn’t even say to my shrink
‘Cuz I’m ashamed of what the doctor would think
Like when I felt alone and hated my life
So I thought about taking it
I saw this movie playing up in my head
Next to my casket were some family and friends
And even though I know that’s not how it ends
There was no shaking it
If they force a needle through a cortex in my brain
Wonder what they think, that maybe I have gone insane
Or are there other people that are equally deranged
And think the heinous things I think about
Is it only me
Is it unnatural to,
To have these thoughts sometimes
Am I alone or am I
Some type of criminal
If they could read my mind
Would they lock me up for life
Lock me up for life
Would they lock me up for life
Lock me up for life
Tell my mother that I love her I’m not coming home from jail
I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry
And tell my father not to bother waste a dollar on my bail
I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry
Is it only me
Is it unnatural to,
To have these thoughts sometimes
Am I alone or am I
Some type of criminal
If they could read my mind
Would they lock me up for life
Lock me up for life
Would they lock me up for life
Lock me up for life
