"We're All Criminals Now" lyrics

"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
(We're watching you)
A sample of your DNA
(The things you do)
Queuing to be finger-printed
(You could be dangerous)
Going to the USA
Another routine procedure
(We're on your case)
Driving in your car
(We've seen your face)
Stopped and searched and questioned
(Some place before)
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
