Criminals Songtext
von Groenland

Yesterday we created courage
In a place we underestimated
We are daughters and sons of perpetual guilt
And to be taught wrong is the only wrong we did
Wonder how long we can hold
We never had to be brave
How did we end up so old
I used to feel fairly safe
In the front row a man fell down
We got him back on his feet before he even touched the ground
I need your words to keep my heart clean
The more I learn, the more I urge myself to see
When your flag is coming down
And their fires are spreading around


That's when we know there's much to be done still
We can take you under our care
Underneath a coloured flare
We'll collide like electrons in the sky
We hid like criminals in the back street
Quite a radical way for you and me to meet
The idea of us is stronger than we are
We wait the night away 'til morning do us part
When your flag is coming down
And their fires are spreading around
That's when we know there's much to be done still
We can take you under our care
Underneath a coloured flare
We'll collide like electrons in the sky
