Lyrics

[Intro]
Bertrand Russel said life is nothing
But an eternal criminal ring…

[verse]
Criminals,
Like life’s a game of bully king thrones, cold, cruel,
People trapped by shady golden rules,
Oh dear, let’s pray for ‘em criminals
(Criminals, criminals, criminals)

[verse]
Yesterday,
We hope the world would be a better way,
But now we see it’s all a rigged display,
Trumped by breaking news memes all day.

[chorus]
Why we shrug, I don’t know, can’t we see?
Hear me out, it’s not just me,
We just can’t be trapped eternally,
By criminals.
(Oh Criminals…)

[verse]
Criminals,
Setting traps, predators preaching dirty lies,
Crimes of power acting in disguise,
Worst… no one even dares to criticize!

[chorus]
Why we shrug, I don’t know, can’t we see?
Hear me out, it’s not just me,
Games of lose-lose by denial…
Damn, criminals!
(Criminals, criminals, criminals)

[outro]
Criminals,
Victims fates sealed by creepy villain’s claws,
Felons only know to break ’n bend the laws
Daddy dances with criminals, ooh
(Criminals, criminals, criminals)
[end]
