F#mI've seen a lot of criEminals
F#mI've seen a lot of criEmes
F#mDoing a lot of evil deEeds
F#mDoing a lot of tiEme
F#mWe speak of these men as aliens E
F#m>From some forbidden raceE
F#mWe speak of these men as animals E
F#mWe will lock in a cageE
INSTRUMENTAL (same alternating chords)
F#mBut there's one man I must arrest E
F#mI must interrogatEe
F#mOne man that I must make confess E
F#mThen rehabilitaEte
F#mThere is no other I can blame E
F#mNo other I can judgEe
F#mNo other I can cast in shame E
F#mThen require bloEod
INSTRUMENTAL (same alternating chords)
Bridge:
EI see him in the shadows down the hall
EI see him in the plaster on the wall
F#mThere is no crime he cannot commit E
F#mNo murder too complex E
F#mHis heart is filled with larcEeny
F#mAnd violence and sex E
F#mHis heart is filled with envyE
F#mAnd revenge and greed E
F#mHis heart is filled with nothEing
F#mHis heart is filled with needE
F#mHe' s capable of anything E
F#mOf any vicious act E
F#mThis criminal is dangerous E
F#mThe criminal under my own hat. E
