F#5                   E5
I've seen a lot of criminals
F#5                   E5
I've seen a lot of crimes
F#5                   E5
Doing a lot of evil deeds
F#5              E5
Doing a lot of time

F#5                                  E5
We speak of these men as aliens
F#5                         E5
>From some forbidden race
F#5                                  E5
We speak of these men as animals
F#5                   E5
We will lock in a cage

INSTRUMENTAL (same alternating chords)
F#5                                    E5
But there's one man I must arrest
F#5              E5
I must interrogate
F#5                                       E5
One man that I must make confess
F#5            E5
Then rehabilitate

F#5                            E5
There is no other I can blame
F#5                E5
No other I can judge
F#5                           E5
No other I can cast in shame
F#5             E5
Then require blood

INSTRUMENTAL  (same alternating chords)

Bridge:
      E5
      I see him in the shadows down the hall
      E5
      I see him in the plaster on the wall

F#5                                    E5
There is no crime he cannot commit
F#5                      E5
No murder too complex
F#5                          E5
His heart is filled with larceny
F#5                    E5
And violence and sex

F#5                          E5
His heart is filled with envy
F#5                   E5
And revenge and greed
F#5                          E5
His heart is filled with nothing
F#5                          E5
His heart is filled with need


F#5                        E5
He' s capable of anything
F#5                E5
Of any vicious act
F#5                          E5
This criminal is dangerous
F#5                                 E5
The criminal under my own hat.
