Just Because I Wasnt Born To Slaughter by The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2006

Standing before the court all alone
All 'cause I felt the urge to snap some bone
What's going on, all the people just stare
Feeling as though, I really should care

No hold of my life - because I'm going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I'm paying the price for the slay

Didn't have long to wait 'till I was found
Can't say it was easy running from the law!
Now they know
Now they know
Didn't expect to never be found
When you commit a murder life is far from sound!

No hold of my life - because I'm going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I'm paying the price for the slay
Holding on to what I've got, maybe for one last time!
Standing tall against the jury pleading guilty for my crime!
Glad I don't remember how I used to be
Glad that I'm not seen like this by my distant family

Locked up in a cell all night before they let me plea
Twenty-four hour surveillance no sneaking in a key
Now they know
They all know
Praying for some sorry reason I don't even know why
Gone is my chance for salvation - no point starting to cry

Just because I wasn't born to slaughter!
Just because I was caught in cold blood
Just because I wasn't born to slaughter!
Does that mean, kill again I could?

No hold of my life - because I'm going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I'm paying the price for the slay
Interlude (sung badly out of tune at 2:44)
Help me please
I doubt anyone could
Come on please…
No way!
'Cause they know
They all know

Called up to the platform to give my final plea
The only word running through my mind is g-u-i-l-ty
Yet I go ahead anyway, the word 'innocent' comes out
Oh, gosh darn it - didn't mean to say that - the victims family start to shout!

No hold of my life - because I'm going down
Locked behind bars in the blackness of downtown
Hell hath no fury like I did that day
Now I'm paying the price for the slay

Just because I wasn't born to slaughter!
Just because I said “innocent”
Just because I wasn't born to slaughter!
But forever I shall be… Hell. Bent. Yeah
Hell bent on killing again!
