lyrics

IN THE EYES OF THE LAW THEY’VE NO RIGHT TO CHASE ME
IN THE MIND OF THE WORLD I’M STILL GUILTY
IN THE WORDS OF THE JUDGE I’VE DONE MY TIME
I’VE MADE PAYMENT FOR MY CRIME

IN THE EYES OF WOMEN I’VE BEEN DIRTY
BUT THE EARS OF THE INNOCENT WON’T HEAR
THAT THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT IS A VIOLENT PLACE TO BE
BUT WILL I EVER BE SET FREE

CAUSE MY FACE IS ON THE POSTER, AND MY NAME IS ON THE SIGN
BUT THEY REFUSE TO SEE ME AS I AM
MY PICTURE’S IN THE PAPER, AND WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE
I’M DOIN’ TIME AN UNWANTED MAN

IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE I’LL NEVER PAY ENOUGH
BUT I JUST CANNOT TURN BACK TIME
IN THE WORDS OF THE LORD I KNOW I’VE BEEN FORGIVEN
IN THE EYES OF GOD MY SIN IS BLIND

BUT MY FACE IS ON THE POSTER, AND MY NAME IS ON THE SIGN
BUT THEY REFUSE TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND
WITH MY PICTURE IN THE PAPER, I’VE WON EVERYBODY’S HATRED
AND I’M RUNNIN’ ‘ROUND AN UNWANTED MAN
YA I’M DOIN’ TIME AN UNWANTED MAN
