Crimes on Paper

[Verse 1]

You should have known us in our Vietnam days

When we could save the planet saturating the tape

My closet bed, don't have time to sleep around it

Someday they'll read about the world that we've created

Just for our heads, learn to swim or end up sinking

[Chorus]

Unconditional

Imitation of

All the senseless world

Are material

Crimes on paper

[Verse 2]

And since the here and now has come of age

And all my friends are tripping, telling me to stretch

My eyes around my head, watch your back for real they tell me

Don't want to read about you, boy, in the obituary

Ignore what you've read, don't have time to read about it

[Chorus]

Unconditional

Imitation of

All the senseless world

Are material

Crimes on paper

[Verse 3]

Now maybe somewhere someone's jotting this down

So in a million years from now, when it's still around

They can wonder who we were

Wonder what we did, who we knew

And all the legends of our time

Are they really true, I doubt you do

Then again I wouldn't blame you

[Chorus]

Unconditional

Imitation of

All the senseless world

Are material

Unconditional

Imitation of

All the senseless world

Are material
