Criminals

Yesterday we created courage

In a place we underestimated

We are daughters and sons

Of perpetual guilt

And to be taught wrong

Is the only wrong we did

Whoa, wonder how long we can hold

Ah, ah, ah, ah

We never had to be brave

Ah, ah, ah

How did we end up so old?

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I used to feel fairly safe

Ah, ah, ah

In the front row a man fell down

We got him back on his feet

Before he even touched the ground

I need your words to keep

My heart clean

The more I learn, the more

I urge myself to see

When your flag is coming down

And the fires are spreading around

That's when we know

There's much to be done still

We can take you under our care

Underneath a colored flare

We'll collide like electrons in the sky

We hid like criminals in the back street

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Quite a radical way for, for you and me to meet

Ah, ah, ah

The idea of us is stronger than we are

We wait the night away

Till morning do us part

When your flag is coming down

And the fires are spreading around

That's when we know

There's much to be done still

We can take you under our care

Underneath a colored flare

We'll collide like electrons in the sky
