Crime of the Century Lyrics

It's the Crime of the Century

In front of everyone, right in the noonday sun

And I believed every word said to me

Bout how was done, who's hand was on the gun

Yes I believed it I did. For a long long time

Ooh those men in grey,

They shut that door and locked the truth away

Ooh they cast a wicked spell,

A story told by devils from the darkest part of hell

They killed him then, they're killing him again

Every Time that word goes out

They killed him then, they're killing him again

And it makes me cry, it makes me shout

They killed him then, they're killing him again

Now they've left me here on a sea of doubt

So many years and a million words

But the question's still are hot

What can you do when the strings get pulled

By someone at the top

What can you do but hang on

Ring that bell and bang that drum

Hold on to what is true

Don't let it get to you

Wait for the reckoning to come

It was the Crime of the Century

In front of everyone, right in the noonday sun

And I believed every word said to me

Bout how was done, who's hand was on the gun

Yes I believed it I did. For a long long time
