lyrics

F Am (x2)
F Am
Well the first man that I ever killed begged for his life and yet still
F Am
I pulled that unforgiving trigger
F Am
Well I shot him once but he wasn’t dead so I shot him again right through the head
F Am
Because I wanted the whole process to go quicker
F Am
Well the crack of the gun made my ears ring but other than that I didn’t feel a thing
F Am
I guess I just was born without a heart
F Am
He was a preacher man damning me to hell and i thought if i’m going there then well
F Am
I might as well get me a head start
F G
Well a monster’s not a person, and a monster’s what I am
Em Am
And if I’m not a person I guess I don’t give a damn
F G
And if my sins will drag me down, down to the fiery deep
Em Am
I’ll go and turn this world to shit, and I’ll make my mother weep
F G
Make my mother weep
F Am (x2)

F Am
Well they tried their best to put me away, into a place they thought they’d make me stay
F Am
But the jail and the madhouse didn’t have an effect
F Am
Cuz I killed the guards and the warden too, and there was nothing that the fucking shrink could do
F Am
I was back on the streets as society’s reject
F Am
Well they loosed the dogs and they aired the news when I put the slip on those fuckin screws
F Am
And busted outta there just like Andy did
F Am
But Andy never would have harmed a fly, just an innocent man that didn’t want to die
F Am
The main difference was, I was more like Billy the Kid
FG
Well a monster’s not a person, and a monster’s what I am
Em Am
And if I’m not a person I guess I don’t give a damn
F G
And if my sins will drag me down, down to the fiery deep
Em Am
I’ll go and turn this world to shit, and I’ll make my mother weep
F G
Make my mother weep
F Am (x6)
