Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

The Ultimate Crime

I'm unfit for jury duty

I know policemen lie like me

But to tell... tell the truth

I'm just not up to the responsibility

'Cause in my day to day life

The ultimate crime is to live in discontent

Looking at bad design and wasting my time

Growing too corpulent

The extent of the ultimate crime

Was driving incompetent

And the ultimate crime could pass for an accident

The ultimate crime, the ultimate crime

I am standing in the gallery

When they lead the client in

And they shave off all his hair

Until there's nothing left, but shining skull and skin

And I wake up sweating bullets

And the ultimate crime is to think it's just a dream

It happens all the time, out of sight, out of mind

No one can hear you scream

We invented the ultimate crime

For the ultimate punishment

And the ultimate crime was our greatest accomplishment

The ultimate crime, the ultimate crime

The ultimate crime was being irreverent

And the ultimate crime was

Dropping the sacrament

The ultimate crime, the ultimate crime

The ultimate crime was being too lenient

And the ultimate crime was being too ignorant

The ultimate crime, the ultimate crime

Is not to care
