[Verse 1]
Downtown, we're tied up in anger
Old cage I'm in is getting way to cold
I'm never innocent enough
Chased down for my own protection
Tear gas and smoke screens the more we know
They're hiding innocence from us, us, us

[Chorus]
We're criminals in our own streets
We're criminals in our own streets
Keep your hands down and don't speak
'Cause you're a lucky man

[Verse 2]
Helpless, afraid of the sirens
Always will bend before they break your soul
We're never innocent enough

And they'll never let you have it setting fires for the weekend
Burning down the buildings too much power in the kingdom
They'll silence you with power and they'll silence you with gold
They'll try to keep you silent but you just can't let it go

[Chorus]
We're criminals in our own streets
We're criminals in our own streets
Keep your hands down and don't speak
'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man

(Keep your hands down and don't speak)
(Keep your hands down and don't speak)
(Keep your hands down and don't speak)
(Keep your hands down and don't speak)

[Bridge]
We're criminals
We're criminals
We're criminals
Keep your hands down and don't speak

'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man

'Cause you're a lucky man
'Cause you're a lucky man
