Criminals Lyrics


Another weekend comes, I got nowhere to go
So get real high and head to your window
Watch perfect faces living perfect lives
Till something snaps inside
Now everything looks just like a horror cartoon
I'm thinking of something that I know I shouldn't do
But nobody knows me and nobody cares
And damn, I feel alive
You think you know who we are
Well, you don't know us at all
We are criminals, the arsonists, the thieves, the rapists
Save yourself, you put us in cages
But you made us criminals, lost inside your American dreams
We'll carry this for the quarantine
Now I'm running away just like a clumsy machine
And a memory follows like a horrible dream
But I prove to myself I can do anything
And damn, I feel alive

We are criminals, the arsonists, the thieves, the rapists
Save yourself, you put us in cages
But you made us criminals, lost inside the American dream
We'll carry this for the quarantine
For every town that I've lied to
Been cheated, beaten down
Revenge is such a glamorous feeling
I've been craving for so long
And when you sleep at night
Believe me, I'll be there in the dark
'Cause we've got nothing to lose
And we don't care who you are
The rich, the beautiful
You don't mean a thing to a scorched earth
Parasites in paradise
Our time has come to change your life
We are criminals, the arsonists, the thieves, the rapists
Save yourself, you put us in cages
But you made us
The rich, the beautiful
You don't mean a thing to a scorched earth
Parasites in paradise
Our time has come to change your life
The disenchanted, we revolution to change your life
We're now at war with our future

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Madina Lake is an alternative rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The group officially formed in 2005 when twin brothers Nathan and Matthew Leone, both former members of The Blank Theory got the money to make their demo from winning Fear Factor twins. The $50,000 was the start up money for Madina Lake. Completing the 4-piece band is Mateo Camargo and Dan Torelli, former members of Chicago rock band Reforma.

Their debut album From Them, Through Us, To You was released March 27, 2007 through Roadrunner Records whom the band signed with shortly after releasing their EP entitled The Disappearance of Adalia.

Madina Lake themes its music in a town created in the mind of the bass player, Matthew Leone. It is set high in the American mountains, and, isolated from human contact, has remained in a 1950s themed era. The music provides an outlet for the band's views on politics, culture, and the media's obsession with celebrity status. The theme behind the band's music is in relation to the mystery of Adalia. The album artwork shows images of her and the mysteries behind her and the town of Madina Lake.

Madina Lake released their second offering and follow up to From Them, Through Us, To You, with Attics To Eden on the 5th May 2009. Filled with a progressed sound and fresh vibe, Attics To Eden certainly delivers on all levels; from the infectious lyrics in the chorus of "Not For This World" to the slower paced memorable "Through This Pain", the band look set to storm the world and add to their ever growing loyal fan base.

The band have since been recording their new EP, 'The Dresden Codex', and have released new songs 'They're Coming For Me' and 'Hey Superstar!'.

In April 2011, Madina Lake confirmed that they had left Roadrunner records and signed with Sony. The band's third studio album, World War III, was their first on their new label. It was the third and final installment of their concept trilogy, which concludes the Leone brothers' tales of a metaphorical universe and was released on September 13, 2011. (Hey Superstar Songfacts).
