Public enemy number one Jail break and a smoking gun You won't believe the things I've done And the killing was just for fun Public enemy number one A stolen car and I'm on the run Through the night through the rising sun And the trouble has just begun Roses on your grave I'll be on my way There's no time to stay With the enemies I've made I'm invincible You might say despicable Punishments reciprocal Public enemy number one I'm unbeatable My mind is untreatable Crimes repeatable Public enemy number one Public enemy number one Watch the authorities come undone With every standoff that I've won Flirting death just for fun Public enemy number one Born a fugitives fathers son Another heist of a bank is done And the trouble has just begun Roses on your grave I'll be on my way There's no time to stay With the enemies I've made I'm invincible You might say despicable Punishments reciprocal Public enemy number one I'm unbeatable My mind's untreatable Crimes unrepeatable Public enemy number one They say that I'm wanted Dead or dead But everyone who's tried Got a bullet to their head I'm invincible You might say despicable Punishments reciprocal Public enemy number one I'm unbeatable My mind's untreatable Crimes, unrepeatable Public enemy number one Public enemy! Public enemy! Public enemy! Public enemy!
