I've been a crime against myself since as far back as I go.
Preacher man he slammed his fists cause the bible told him so.
Carry yourself to the front of the line get ready for the alter call
Tack your sins to the side of him cause he can fix them all.
Lock me up if what I've got's too much for you to take
Tie my hands to the back of my head and see what you can break
Cause I'm just a lamb in the lions mouth and he's got a bone to pick
If you're putting me out of my misery go ahead and make it quick.
I've seen crimes against my kind since the day my eyes could see
You don't know by dragging them down you were taking your toll on me
I prayed like a mad man up in my room, Lord save me from myself.
I'll do whatever I need to do just make me someone else
Lock me up if what I've got's too much for you to take
Tie my hands to the back of my head and see what you can break
Cause I'm just a lamb in the lions mouth and he's got a bone to pick
If you're putting me out of my misery go ahead and make it quick.
I've stacked your crimes right up against mine to see who's got it worse
So far you're no better than me and mine's not such a curse.
Throw your stones and crack my bones if it helps you sleep at night
But God's had a hold a'me all of my life and Lord I'm hanging on tight.
Lock me up if what I've got's too much for you to take
Tie my hands to the back of my head and see what you can break
Cause I'm just a lamb in the lions mouth and he's got a bone to pick
If you're putting me out of my misery go ahead and make it quick.
Said if you're putting me out of my misery well you better make it stick
