We're All Criminals Now - Pet Shop Boys, Chris Lowe

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)

Sample of your DNA (the things you do)

You’re to be fingerprinted (you could be dangerous)

Going to need an assay

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’re being 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’re being framed

We’re all criminals now
