[Intro]

Oh


[Verse 1]

Kickin' back in the shadows

Got no need for the light

Who's sorry now, old-timer?

Look at how you've spent your life

Scrounging for change to put some money in your pocket

My, how scratch does burn

Laughing at the suckers as you pissed it away

But I got the time, n' I got the muscle

I got the need to lay it all on the line

I ain't afraid of your smokescreen hustle


[Chorus]

It's the perfect crime

Goddammit, it's the perfect crime

Motherfucker, it's the perfect crime

I said it's perfect


[Verse 2]

Keep the demons down and drag the skeletons out

I got a blind man following me in chains

I said, "He's fun to watch when the world has stopped

And I think he's got something to say

"You wanna fuck with me?

Don't fuck with me

'Cause I'm what you'll be

So don't fuck with me

If you had a better sense

You'd just step aside from the bad side of me

Don't fuck with the bad side of me

Stay away from the bad side of me

Don't fuck with the bad side"


[Bridge]

(T minus 1:09 and counting)

Ostracized, but that's alright

I was thinking about something myself

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Call on everybody who's got last rites

Said it's better if you locked them away

Running through the visions at the speed of light

Won't you let me be?

Motherfucker, just let me be

Goddammit, better let me be

Don't you know you better let me, aah


[Chorus]

Perfect crime

Goddammit, it's the perfect crime

Motherfucker, it's the perfect crime

Don't you know, it's the perfect crime?
