Convicted

The young at heart are hanging out

at the park across the street

They're giving up their dreams

just for a drug that takes what you got

and tears you apart inside

The juror stands and stands alone

as he's running late for class

His future's gonna pass

The verdict doesn't mean anything

when there's no one left alive

All that they do is complain

but they don't try to change

I've been looking for heaven

I feel like the devil

I'm guilty and now I'm convicted

I've been running forever

I'm always the rebel

I'm guilty and now I'm convicted

There was a guy I kinda knew

We would play some rock and roll

He told me that he stole

a handful of a really goodtime

to take after nine o'clock

The cop was waiting in his car

watching every move he made

He never should've stayed

The officer put cuffs on his hands

We stood in a state of shock

And as they took him away

I can still hear him say...

You never take no advice

Man, you should've thought twice
