I’d Still Do The Crime

How can I explain so you can understand

I’m not to blame for it getting out of hand

You call me a user but there’s something you should know

I’m being held prisoner in a cage that doesn’t show

 

You say I hold the key to the prison that I am in

Yield to ‘The Powers That Be’ to find your God within

Have faith in yourself look to a ‘Higher Power’

Let everything you’ve felt no longer make you cower

 

Listen to what I say and keep an open mind

Sobriety brings dismay and depression combined

I’ve tried living sober, ‘One Day At A Time’

If I could do it over I’d still do the crime
