He crept up those crooked stairs with a pistol shoved into his pants
He looked and saw the woman kiss the man. He lit 'em up and blew them away
This is the privilege of a criminal life!
Now he knows for sure that it was the truth that he was told
Whatever it was the bastard did the bastard knows
This is the privilege of a criminal life!
What's done is done. He can never get it back
He's gonna stand there till the authorities attack
This is the privilege of a criminal life!
He says "come on!" He says "come on!"
Why are you waiting? What are you waiting for?"
This is the privilege of a criminal life!
