Additional lyrics:

One day, I got to know a girl,
but soon after she dies,
and when I went into the courtroom,
all I did was lie.
They told me I was under oath,
but I didn't really give a shit.
Now Im living in a cell block,
getting by bit by bit.

I get to know these people,
but then they all disappear.
When they think it's just the beginning.
I can sense the end is near.
I never read the headlines,
because I know just what they'll say.
And in another six months,
it'll be my release day.

Then I met a long lost sister,
soon she was lost lost forever.
I decided her life was dull,
so I ended it for the better.
Then I met a random guy,
Who claimed to be my brother.
I sent him off to burn in Hell,
Alongside my lying mother.

I get to know these people...

(Solo)

I get to know these people...

When I though things couldn't,
possibly get any worse,
I met some annoying gypsy,
that told me I was cursed.
I didn't believe a thing she said,
I knew it was just lies.
As I raised the pistol to her head,
I told her to close her eyes.
