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 ever known  They tried to reform me  But I'm made of cold stone  A criminal mind  Is 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  repeat chorus  I'm made of cold stone  Just like your prison walls  A criminal mind  I AM
