You Made Me Do It Songtext
von Ivan King

Mental disorder, psychiatric disease
Violent compulsions, they′re all part of me
It's easy to judge this, accuse, disagree
You all turn your back when you should have helped me

They say it′s in my brain, my way, my destiny
Written in my blood, my flesh and my dreams
The truth is, I grew up emotionally abused
Tearing my soul down, all thanks to you

Maybe there was another way
But I took their lives because
You made me do it

No
You made me do it
No
You made me do, you made me do it

Zero remorses, lack of empathy
Memory lapses, delusions of control
You thought I was harmless, the neighbor next door
While in my basement, I'm hiding your corpse


I'm sorry, but it′s late to redeem me from my sins
There is no good, there is no bad, we live right in between
I really wish that I was dead, but I can′t kill myself
So it doesn't really matter if you cannot understand

Maybe I deserve to pay
But it doesn′t feel right 'cause
You made me do it

No
You made me do it
No
You made me do, you made me do it

No
You made me do it
No
You made me do, you made me do it

I lived as an ordinary person most of my life
I plead not guilty right now
We are all evil, some form or another
Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me
Doesn′t that give me equal right?
I can do anything I want to you people, any time I want to
Because that's what you′ve done to me


No
You made me do it
No
You made me do, you made me do it

No
You made me do it
No
You made me do, you made me do it

Your Honor, it is over now
This has never been a case of trying to get free
I didn't ever want freedom
Frankly, I wanted death for myself
This was a case to tell the world that I did what I did, but not for reasons of hate
I hated no one, I knew I was sick or evil or both
Now I believe I was sick
The doctors have told me about my sickness, and now I have some peace

I know how much harm I have caused
I tried to do the best I could after the arrest to make amends
But no matter what I did I could not undo the terrible harm I have caused
I feel so bad for what I did to those poor families
And I understand their rightful hate

I decided to go through this trial for a number of reasons
One of the reasons was to let the world know these were not hate crimes
I wanted the world and Milwaukee, which I deeply hurt, to know the truth of what I did
I didn't want unanswered questions
All the questions have now been answered
I wanted to find out just what it was that caused me to be so bad and evil

But most of all, Mr. Boyle and I decided
That maybe there was a way for us to tell the world
That if there are people out there with these disorders
Maybe they can get help before they end up being hurt or hurting someone
I think the trial did that
