[Verse 1]
It was a drive-by Sunday night
Most of us were in bed all right
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens
Interrupt the silence

[Chorus 1]
Is this what you wished
To commit a crime?
Is this what you wished
To commit a crime?
Is this what you wished
To commit a crime, commit a crime, commit a crime?

[Verse 2]
You was a nice guy, really bright
Making money's hard to do right
Guilty was his plight
Now he's in a jail cell
For some thirty years now

[Chorus 2]
Is this what you wished
To be serving time?
Is this what you wished
To be serving time?
Is this what you wished
To be serving time, serving time, serving time?
[Verse 3]
K's a friend of mine
I think about him as he does time
Miss his white wine
Funny I don't feel free
Even though it's not me

[Chorus 3]
Is this what you wished
To leave me behind?
Is this what you wished
To leave me behind?
Is this what you wished
To leave me behind, me behind, me behind?

[Verse 4]
Last year they decided
That his time is up and then he got retried
Double homicide
Sent him on to death row
Not to hang around though

[Chorus 4]
Is this what you wished
Did you want to die?
Is this what you wished
Did you want to die?
Is this what you wished
Did you want to die, want to die, want to die?
Did you want to die, want to die, want to die, want to die?
Did you want to die?
