T BONE BURNETT lyrics : "Criminals"

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


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

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
