we're all criminals now

videoed on the subway

reading the news and then

walking along the high street

videoed once again

waiting for a bus in stockwell

cameras on my back

suddenly hearing sirens

sounding a panic attack

hey

hey

don't ask me how

we've changed

we're all criminals now

hey

hey

don't ask me how

we're blamed

we're all criminals now

just a routine procedure

a sample of your dna

queuing to be finger-printed

going to the usa

another routine procedure

driving in your car

stopped and searched and questioned

can you prove who you are?

hey

hey

don't ask me how

we've changed

we're all criminals now

hey

hey

don't ask me how

we've been framed

we're all criminals now

hey

hey

hey

we're all criminals now

hey

hey

hey

we're all criminals now

got the bus to the station

music playing in my head

ran to get on the tube train

police shot someone dead

don't ask me how

we're all criminals now

hey

hey

don't ask me how

we're blamed

we're all criminals now

hey

hey

don't ask me how

we've been framed

we're all criminals now
