Pay Crime

You're calling your friends you're so out of reach
I'm just trying to lick the plaque off your teeth

So turn the lights off
Some people round here are trying to sleep at night
It's getting cold out
There's a buzz in your head and you sort of don't sleep that great

Knit this quilt like
You're making a lie and trying to sleep in it
And you feel like
Your gold is a fraud you're a fool for believing it

You've got a hunger headache
You've got a baby mistake
You've got so much there to take
So take what you want

You've seen a head in a hand
You've seen a foreigner land
You've seen enough bad bands
So see what you are

Running scared to
Your one-size-fits-all worship house
You've been sinning and
Only conforming can possibly save you now

We've got our finger on
The pulse of the people the people their heart has stopped
Granting refunds
The people can't help it they're feeling a little robbed

You've been beating this drum
You've been pointing this gun
You've been wanting to run and run
all away

You've been speaking in rhyme
You've been biding your time
You've been paying for crime
But crime doesn't pay.

I'm the great great living machine.
Did you have a dreamcoat?
Did I have a dream?

I'm the first first man on the moon
Am I too late for the future?
Am I too soon?
