JUST BECAUSE I WASN’T BORN TO SLAUGHTER!
Standing before the court all alone
All ‘cause I felt the urge to snap some
bone
What’s going on, all the people just stare
Feeling as though, I really should care
No hold of my life – because I’m going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of
downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I’m paying the price for the slay
Didn’t have long to wait ‘till I was found
Can’t say it was easy running from the law!
Now they know.
Now they know.
Didn’t expect to never be found
When you commit a murder life is far from
sound!
No hold of my life – because I’m going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of
downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I’m paying the price for the slay
Holding on to what I’ve got, maybe for one
last time!
Standing tall against the jury pleading
guilty for my crime!
Glad I don’t remember how I used to be
Glad that I’m not seen like this by my
distant family
Locked up in a cell all night before they
let me plea
Twenty-four hour surveillance no sneaking
in a key
Now they know.
They all know.
Praying for some sorry reason I don’t even
know why
Gone is my chance for salvation - no point
starting to cry
Just because I wasn’t born to slaughter!
Just because I was caught in cold blood
Just because I wasn’t born to slaughter!
Does that mean, kill again I could?
No hold of my life – because I’m going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of
downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I’m paying the price for the slay
Interlude
(sung badly out of tune at 2:44)
Help me please
I doubt anyone could
Come on please…
No way!
‘Cos they know.
They all know.
Called up to the platform to give my final
plea
The only word running through my mind is
g-u-i-l-ty
Yet I go ahead anyway, the word ‘innocent’
comes out
Oh, gosh darn it – didn’t mean to say that
– the victims family start to shout!
No hold of my life – because I’m going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of
downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I’m paying the price for the slay
Just because I wasn’t born to slaughter!
Just because I said “innocent”
Just because I wasn’t born to slaughter!
But forever I shall be…Hell. Bent. Yeah
HELL BENT ON KILLING AGAIN!!!!
