<poem> | |||
Dear hero imprisoned, | |||
With all the new crimes that you are perfecting | With all the new crimes that you are perfecting | ||
Oh I can't help quoting you | Oh I can't help quoting you | ||
Line 85: | Line 143: | ||
These are the ways | These are the ways | ||
On which I was, which I was raised | On which I was, which I was raised | ||
I never wanted to kill | I never wanted to kill | ||
I'M NOT NATURALLY EVIL | I'M NOT NATURALLY EVIL | ||
Line 94: | Line 153: | ||
The last of the famous | The last of the famous | ||
International playboys | International playboys | ||
