about

'Spring 2012 I came across the web site of Dr. Phil and read an article with a list lining out the characteristics of serial killers, which served as the inspiration for this song. Now, I hear you say 'Doctor Phil, what does he know!', but he based his writings on the findings of Robert K. Ressler, a well-respected FBI agent in the 1970s and 1980s who is credited to having coined the term 'serial killer'. Anyway, together with the refrain that I already had come up with in 2011, I did put most of them serial killer characteristics into the lyrics to this mid tempo song. It's been played live once, on November 3, 2012, at an acoustic guitar gig.'

lyrics

Chorus:
I've got a low profile job
Or maybe I have no work at all
I might have dropped out of school
And be a convicted sex offender

Ninety percent of us are male
Our IQ's as high as the bright normal range
But we all did poorly in school
Have a hard time holding down jobs
And we ain't no strangers to substance abuse

We come from unstable families
With psychiatric and alcoholic histories
And often criminal too
And we can't get along with our parents
'Cause we still remember our abusive childhood

Chorus

We have a high rate of suicide attempts
And at an early age we got interested
In voyeurism and fetishism
And sadomasochistic pornography
We practice a form of deadly submission

Chorus
