An American Crime Lyrics by Sabrina Sterling
I tried with you
I tried to do the right thing
He made me do
He pushed me to the first degree
Don’t hesitate
I take the blade, a tight grip
There’s no chance to cry or plead
I couldn’t take it anymore, I laid another blow
I couldn’t help but feel excited when he hit the floor
Somebody stops me, now, they’re calling me an animal
But you don’t know me, no, you don’t even know me at all
Where were you when it started?
Why’d you break up the party?
It’s my turn, it’s my time to cross the line
Now it’s all in the papers
Taking votes in his favor
Now they’re painting me, they made me an American crime
Crime, crime
I really thought you’d understand me
Thought that you would back me
Then you turn around and reprimand me
It was out of my control
Will you ever let me go?
I couldn’t take it anymore, I laid another blow
I couldn’t help but feel excited when he hit the floor
Somebody stops me, now, they’re calling me an animal
But you don’t know me, no, you don’t even know me at all
Where were you when it started?
Why’d you break up the party?
It’s my turn, it’s my time to cross the line
Now it’s all in the papers
Taking votes in his favor
Now they’re painting me, they made me an American crime
Crime, crime
I didn’t want to be the bigger man
Put the matter in my hands
Now you’re pointing fingers so I’m taking the fall
I didn’t want to be the bigger man
Put the matter in my hands
You don’t even know me, you don’t know me at all
I didn’t want to be the bigger man
Put the matter in my hands
Now you’re pointing fingers so I’m taking the fall
I didn’t want to be the bigger man
Put the matter in my hands
You don’t even know me, you don’t know me at all
Where were you when it started?
Why’d you break up the party?
It’s my turn, it’s my time to cross the line
Now it’s all in the papers
Taking votes in his favor
Now they’re painting me, they made me an American crime
Crime, crime
They made me an American crime
Crime, crime
They made me an American crime
