When I beat my wife
Because I hate my life
When I enjoy the assault
        Then it’s not my fault
        I’m addicted.

When I steal money
Because I think it’s funny
To take on default
        Then it’s not my fault
        I’m addicted.

When I’m telling lies
Towards trustful eyes
When I’m too good to get caught
        Then it’s not my fault
        I’m addicted.

When I enjoy the extra meal
Thinking it’s no big deal
To have a pantry in my vault
        Then it’s not my fault
        I’m addicted.

When I take my gun
To make that illegal run
When I’ve got racist thought
        Then it’s not my fault
        I’m addicted.

When I don’t pay the prize
Over my crimes someone cries
When I’m not made to halt
        Then it’s not my fault
        I’m addicted.
