lyrics

Not all deceivers of the law will be deceivers of the heart
And not all who are deceivers were deceivers at the start
So be kind to those who disobey
And tell them everything's okay
And maybe they'll remember your name

When they go kickin' and swingin' in to the horizon
They'll spare you, "take care" you, when they start uprisin'
The war for peace is unwinnable
Ya gotta love a friendly criminal

I live inside a world that's taught me everything I know
How to speak and how to act and even how to wear my clothes
But one day I thought, ya know there must be more to life than this
As I passed a group of rebels said "hello" and raised my fist

When they go kickin' and swingin' in to the horizon
They'll spare you, "take care" you, when they start uprisin'
The war for peace is unwinnable
I'd rather be a friendly criminal

It's nice to have everything done for you
Overseas they're shooting the gun for you
Your freedom was a promise, now don't let them break it
You gotta tell em if they won't give it you'll take it

When they go kickin' and swingin' in to the horizon
They'll spare you, "take care" you, when they start uprisin'
The spin doctor's no longer spinnable
And everyone's a friendly criminal
