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
Crimes on paper
