Learned now to steal since that day - God, who knows?
Next scene: I shoot - cop`s dead - boy, is THAT news…
`Big House` is waiting. You know how it goes -
sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
Now I`m in pain - not a man, just a file,
Biting my nails in the `Dance Hall` all day
Edge of the world`s down that very last mile
Where `Old Sparky` is waiting to fry me away
And now I`m standing on the edge of the world
Waiting from the edge of the world
Look how I`m falling from the edge of the world
Screaming from the edge of the world
`I`m spilling my blood for my sins - or so it seems`
Talked to our priest, asked him - `Sell me your God
Is there a reward for being nailed to the cross?`
Son of bitch kind of shrieks, than he laughed:
`If you`ll make it to heaven, my son,
the pressure is off all the rest of us`
Killing is easy - I`m chained to my bed,
State pushed the button and murder`s fulfilled
`It ain`t no murder` - this old guard just said -
`good folks got murder - white trash`s just dead`
I`m waiting for you to deside on mercy or rage
Waiting - reaching out from the edge
