You see my hands are steady 

You've seen my face before 

Soon you can take your last look 

And they'll close the door 

I stand accused before you 

I have no tears to cry 

And you will never break me 

Till the day I die 



(Chorus) 

A criminal mind is all I've 

All I've ever known 

They tried to reform me 

But I'm made of cold stone 

My criminal mind is all I've 

All I've ever had 

Ask one who's known me 

If I'm really so bad... 

I AM 



I've spent my life behind these steel bars 

I've paid my debt in time 

But being brought to justice 

That was my only crime 

I don't regret a single action 

I'd do the same again 

These prison walls secure me 

And I'm numb to pain 



repeat chorus 



Before you hand me over 

Before you read my sentence 

I'd like to say a few words 

Here in my own defense... 

Some people struggle daily 

They struggle with their conscience 

Till the end 

I have no guilt to haunt me 

I feel no wrong intent 



A criminal mind is all I've 

All I've ever known 

Don't try to reform me 

Cause I'm made of cold stone 

My criminal mind is all I 

All I've ever had 

Ask one who's known me 

If I'm really so bad... 

I AM 

Oh I AM 

Oh I AM 

I'm made of cold stone 

Made of cold stone 

Just like these prison walls 

A criminal mind 

Oh 



Made of cold stone 

I'm made of cold stone 

Just like your prison walls 

I'm made of cold stone 

A criminal mind 

I am 

A criminal mind...
