[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey
We’re all criminals now
Hey, hey, hey
We’re all criminals now
[Bridge]
Got the bus to the station
Music playing in my head
Ran to get on the tube train
Police shot someone dead
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Just a routine procedure (We’re watching you)

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
We’re all criminals now
Hey, hey, hey
We’re all criminals now

We’re all criminals now
