[Verse 1]
It didn't take long (It didn't take long)
I didn't get far (I didn't get far)
Before the cops were told
That I'd stolen the car (Stolen the car)
There was an APB (APB)
Sent out for me (Out for me)
Ratted out by my own
Now I'm a public enemy
[Pre-Chorus]
But God's honest truth, I didn't do it this time
If I had, then I sure would admit to my crime
[Chorus]
See, I'm always wrong in the eyes of the law
Parents and priests say it's the final straw
But sure as the sun, it rises and sets
I'll do it again, it's a surefire bet
[Verse 2]
I'm a Catholic school kid
I'm an altar boy (Altar boy)
I was dropped on my head
Now I'm here to destroy (Here to destroy)
I'm a stone cold killer (Stone cold killer)
In the CYO (CYO)
I'm lining them up
And I'm laying them low
[Pre-Chorus]
But honest as the day is long, that's a fact
I'm not nearly half as bad as I act
[Chorus]
See, I'm always wrong in the eyes of the law
Parents and priests say it's the final straw
But sure as the sun, it rises and sets
I'll do it again, it's a surefire bet
[Bridge]
Lad, get up now, the neighbors are watching
You shamed our name and now they'll be talking
What happens in the house stays in the house
And you should do the same
[Verse 3]
There was an APB (APB)
Put out for me (Out for me)
Now I'm down by law
Now I'm a public enemy (Enemy)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm honest as the day is long, that's a fact
I'm not nearly half as bad as I act
[Chorus]
See, I'm always wrong in the eyes of the law
Parents and priests say it's the final straw
But sure as the sun, it rises and sets
I'll do it again, it's a surefire bet
I'm always wrong in the eyes of the law
Parents and priests say it's the final straw
But sure as the sun, it rises and sets
I'll do it again, it's a surefire bet
