An American Crime letra

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 callin' 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, takin' votes in his favor
Now they're paintin' me, they made me an American crime, crime, crime

I really thought you'd understand me
Thought that you would back me
Then you'd 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 callin' 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, takin' votes in his favor
Now they're paintin' me, they made me an American crime, crime, crime

I didn't wanna be the bigger man
Put the matter in my hands
Now you're pointin' fingers, so I'm takin' the fall
I didn't wanna 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 wanna be the bigger man
Put the matter in my hands
Now you're pointin' fingers, so I'm takin' the fall
I didn't wanna 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, takin' votes in his favor
Now they're paintin' me, they made me an American crime, crime, crime
They made me an American crime, crime, crime
They made me an American crime
