Crimes

In the glare of the streetlight Young toughs on the prowl In the pale of the moonlight Ghetto wakes with a howl Crimes, gettin' ready for crimes Crimes, in our hearts an' our minds Hot times in the city Big deal on the curb Kids strugglin' to bust out Tryin' to act on their nerve Crimes, gettin' ready for crimes Crimes, in our hearts an' our minds It don't matter what they taught you When you're unemployed Feelin' restless and ripped off And you know you're annoyed I got a new piece of news for you You can get bailed out God can change your criminal heart That's what love's about It was crime, just a low-down crime Just a crime, in my heart in my mind No more crimes in my heart, in my mind No more crimes in my heart, in my mind No more crimes, no more crimes No, no, no, no more crimes
