Commit The Crime lyrics

Remember the Christians in Roman times And the Inquisition in Spain Think of the Jews in Germany It is really all one and the same People taking time to punish Others for the way they live And I have it in me to commit the crime Do you have it in you to forgive ? Think of the petty pickpocket That is summarily thrown in gaol The murderer and rapist The one who never ever gets bail Punished for stealing from others Things they weren't willing to give And I have it in me to commit the crime Do you have it in you to forgive ? Remember that hotel room With the plaster peeling off the wall Threats and recriminations Echoing down the hall A couple trying to steal from each other All the things that they wanted to give And I have it in me to commit the crime Do you have it in you to forgive ? And I have it in me to commit the crime Do you have it in you to forgive ?
