Criminal Piece Songtext

von Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

There's no more bad weather underground
Yeah, it's time to settle down
That's for all of the kiddies' sakes
Yeah, you'll wanna be around

And who could have seen
And where everyone would go
And what did it mean?
Not everyone can know

I grew up with no gasoline
On the darkest edge of town
An' I became quite the changeling
Yeah, there was just so much around

So much to be seen
And no one to stop you seeing
Oh, the things that I've been
An' all of the things I'm being still

Now I hold on to some dreams
Though the years seem to move so slow
The years have been mean
But that's how we've stayed so gold

So, so long to you "Moderates"
Yeah, it's time for gettin' down
Peace and quiet, it is criminal
While there's injustice in the town

So, go on with your dreams
It's silly to let them go
And say what you mean
Not everyone can know
No, no, no
