about

"A criminal mind is all I've ever had. Ask one who knows me if I'm really so bad...I am."
- Gowan, 1985

lyrics

Well she’ll sit you down, then she’ll set you up
She’ll take your money, but she’ll take no guff
They don’t come any meaner, leaner or tough
She’s a Rock Hardened Criminal

Well she’ll take you in, then she’ll take you out
She’ll make you scream, and she’ll make you shout
And when she leaves you there she will leave no doubt
That she’s a Rock Hardened Criminal

She’s so hot – she must be 'cause she burned me
But she’s so cold – to freeze my heart, and to steal what she stole

Can I lend word to the transgressors here among us?
Can I preach one little bad verse from this good book?
Stand fast pilgrim, take another look…
What did Paul say? Galatians 5:4
Abide by the law and suffer ‘ever more

Genesis 3 – don’t eat from the tree
Don’t eat from the tree of questioning
You’re gonna get sick eating that fruit
You’re gonna get too damned smart for your own damn good
Ignorance is bliss son, didn’t you know that?
There’s no real answers anyway

Now we’re kicked out with leaves on – heaven’s gone
If we ever did really have it at all
It’s hard to remember back that far
And I still feel naked the way we are
There’s not enough clothes in the world to hide our shame
The law of answers only justifies more questions
We keep on asking just the same

And the last question you can ask is:
Do you really know what you know?
But there ain’t no way of knowing
'Cause my hallowed knowledge tells me so

There ain’t no logic, only that which seems logical
There ain’t no magic, only that which seems magical
My head is a prison I’ve been locked in from the start
So if I'm treated like a criminal I might as well play the part

I am a criminal – lay the blame upon me
I am a criminal – I’ll bare these chains to be free
I am a criminal – the case for crime has been made
I am a criminal – the price for life will be paid
