ready, ready, ready, ready......   tonight the moon hangs low   we walk it down on the country's death row   in clean clothes he stands too tall   you still heed the rebels call   with guns pressed against the wall   the man's a criminal   shot rings out   country shouts   his kind are animals   people stop   when this man drops   stop the criminal   shot rings out   country shouts   his kind are animals   the people stop   this man drops   stop the criminal   criminal   i started out of town last night   making my way to the border line   what is it that you want?   i ain't no animal   what is it that you want?   you know i'm not your criminal   shot rings out   country shouts   the mans a criminal   people stop   when this man drops   his kind are animals   police man stops   when we drive   are you a criminal?   the country stops   when this man drops   stop the criminal   criminal   who's the shadow behind your door?   was it my face you were looking for?   what is it that you want?   i ain't no animal   what is it that you want?   you know i'm not your criminal   people stop   when this man drops   his kind are animals   shot rings out   his country shouts   stop the criminal   police man drop   when this man stop   we want no criminal   what you want   our job is done?   his kind are animals   criminal   ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
