Saints in the Crime City (Keith’s mix)

Intro

Yeah

Come on

Mmm

Verse 1

They wear nice suits and prettier ties

Take your pennies while they legislate the lies

Blue-collar pockets getting thinner every week

Boards of gold while the city's bones are weak

Pre-Chorus

Who's gonna lock the lock on the ones who hold the keys

Who's gonna check the check when it's written by the thieves

Chorus

Crime city

Same crooked game

Makes us look holy while they carry all the shame

Crime city

They write the rules to bleed us dry

We're the saints and they're the reason why

Verse 2

Reform is just a fancy word for shuffled deck

Same cards same cheats they never check

Crypto vaults and offshore plans

Paid judges with invisible hands

Pre-Chorus

Who's gonna watch the watchers when the watchers work for gold

Who's gonna break the broker when the broker's bought and sold

Chorus

Crime city

Same crooked game

Makes us look holy while they carry all the shame

Crime city

They write the rules to bleed us dry

We're the saints and they're the reason why

Bridge

Keep us down so we don't scream

Keep us small inside the machine

Keep our mouths busy with the daily grind

So we never stop to look behind

Drop

They own the law

They own the law

They own the law

The law ignores

Chorus

Crime city

Same crooked game

Makes us look holy while they carry all the shame

Crime city

They write the rules to bleed us dry

We're the saints and they're the reason why

Outro

Crime city

Mm-hmm

Same old crime

Crime city
