[Chorus]
I admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
I admit my crime, crime, crime
I'm a thief of fire, fire, fire, fire
[Verse 1]

We do not know anything
Do not understand
We do not sell anything
We do not help
But we will betray
And we will not forget
[Chorus]
I admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
I admit my crime, crime, crime
I'm a thief of fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire
[Bridge/Instrumental]
Reject varying concepts of law and discipline
Reject varying concepts of law and discipline
Reject varying concepts of law and discipline
Reject varying concepts of law and discipline
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
I admit my crime, crime, crime
I'm a thief of fire, fire, fire, fire
[Verse 2]
But who to trust
When you're stealing from a nation of killers
Do I trust myself?
I'm like a tramp in its cage
Flower in Moscow
Losers take all
We are here to go
All lovers betray
[Chorus]
I admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
