They say, "Don't step off the sidewalk and don't cross over the line"
We're all criminals here
Made by men who bought and sold themselves
With not a prayer to keep their powers at bay
Oh, I searched for you, every place I thought I knew
How many times will the teeth bite
When the smoke seems to clear you can say what you want
We're all criminals waiting to be called
Can't believe the big screen, there's no justice in the hall
But we'll serve time at night when the light begins to dim
We've got shackles to keep the laws
They want us kinder and gentler at their feet
The tongue looking for salvage in the damage that's done?
