lyrics

What if I told you that I had not one regret?
Would that make it easier to give me what I'm gonna get
For a man to forgive he doesn't have to forget
And what is a jail for if not to repay a debt?

I'm the example that you want the world to see
That's why my face is plastered all over your TV
I'm a killer you said and I know that I'll never be free
But a light in this darkness is what I've been tryin to be

I picture this life
From a different set of rules
All you men who don't learn from mistakes
You're history's fools
Fools

What's after this life, your guess is as good as mine
But if there's anything that I've learned it's that I'll be doin just fine
Some have repentance but I've actually done the time
I walk a straight path now and that's as close as you can ever come
To bein ready to die

I picture this life from a different set of rules
All you men who don't learn from mistakes are history's fools
Fools
And I've learned from your mistakes too

What if I told you that I regretted it all
And I'll teach your children what they didn't teach me when I was small
Would you still pull the trigger?
Would the government make that call?
Or stand by your convictions while selling my t-shirt at the mall

What if I told you that I had not one regret
Would that make it easier to give me what I'm gonna get?
For a man to forgive he doesn't have to forget
And what is a jail for if not to repay a debt?
What is a jail for if not to repay a debt?
What is a jail for?
