    Story Behind the Song
    Criminal is a both label and a tool for making someone feel tremendous guilt for their actions.
    This one was a shot at the 'system' and a search for identity by way of political statement.

    Lyrics
    I stand accused
    against my will
    I'm badly bruised
    from their intent to kill
    They stole my voice
    and forced fed me conform
    my freedom of choice
    couldn't weather the storm
    I don't need direction
    'cause I've got my own mind
    mainline injection
    standard pacific time
    I'm not the enemy
    though Uncle claims it so
    I've got the remedy
    throw away remote control

    ..And label me the criminal
    attempt to steal my pride
    or brand my ass a liberal
    unable to decide
    could it be I'm the prodigal?
    making you choose a side
    blatently hypocritical
    Once again a mother cries...

    I stand accused
    as my kind will
    freedom refused
    the blame for blood they spilled
    I don't need direction
    'cause I've got my own mind
    Mainline injection
    standard pacific time
    label me the criminal
    attempt to steal my pride
    or brand my ass a liberal
    unable to decide
    could it be I'm the prodigal?
    making you choose a side
    blatently hypocritical
    Once again a mother cries...
