i once thought you're going to prison
a place I never thought you'd leave
the judge is back he made a decision
I think it's too good to believe

but you killed and laws must be followed
you can't kill your wife and do time
you never thought that you would get caught
it seemed like the perfect crime

Scotty, you sat there defenceless
the jury could have one plea
lock you away, die electrically
and throw away the key
you're guilty.. it's death for the first degree

you thought it would be so simple
a crime you thought you'd repeat
tape up her body and just walk away
splash her down in a bed of concrete

Scotty, you sat there defenceless
the jury could have one plea
lock you away, die electrically
and throw away the key
you're guilty.. it's death for the first degree

death for the first degree.. oh yeah
death for the first degree
