Lyrics: Styx. A Criminal Mind.

I stand accused before you
I have no tears to cry
And you will never break me
'Til the day I die

A criminal mind is all I
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

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

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

A criminal mind is all I
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
I'm made of cold stone
I'm just like these prison walls

I'm made of cold stone
Got a criminal mind
A criminal mind
I got a criminal mind
A criminal mind
