Perfect Crime

歌詞

You try so hard to please the teacher Play it straight and you toe the line You try so hard to win their favour But it's just a bore, a waste of time. Trapped all day behind a window Trained to work from nine to five Taught to feel you're just a number Forget what it's like to be alive So you jump the wall and break for freedom Where the air is fresh and the sky is high You roam the streets and laugh for pleasure Remember what it's like to be alive. I'm biding my time for my perfect crime I've already done my time You sit at the back to cheat the teacher Your body's trapped And they waste your mind They've got you now And they want your future So you go on the run to steal back some time And kids from before you can remember Were chained to their desks, But what's the crime ? They broke the locks, escaped the numbers Bunking off to find some pride So you jump the wall And break for freedom Where the air is fresh and the sky is high You rush the streets like running water Remember what it's like to be alive You meet your mates behind the shelter In the toilets, out of sight You go where you go so they can't get you Disobey, it's the basic right You wanted something from your teachers Something real that's worth your time But they let you down, They taught you failure So you jump the wall. The Perfect Crime So you jump the wall And break for freedom But where can you go to find your pride Where can you go for love and laughter To remember what it's like to be alive
