Crime Lyrics - Anti-nowhere League

Brother to brother 

Man to man 

Nation to nation 

We enter the age of...Crime 

I see the shadows of the rising sun 

I stand aside as the deed is done 

And I have wandered through the darkest nights 

To see the coming of the Israelites 

And I have walked across the waters 

To hear the voices of the battle song 

And I have coveted the daughters 

Of the women of Babylon 

And I have seen them fall 

Without emotion 

And I have tasted wealth 

God knows it's a crime 

I see religion cut a land in two 

I turned away as the violence grew 

I saw a man reach for the stars 

As hunger raged down in Africa 

And I have walked across the waters 

To hear the voices of the battle song 

And I have coveted the daughters 

Of the women of Babylon 

And I have seen them fall 

Without emotion 

And I have tasted wealth 

God knows it's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

I am the soldier of a hundred shores 

I bear the scars of a thousand wars 

I was the child who cried alone 

I am the seed that you have sown 

And I have walked across the waters 

To hear the voices of the battle song 

And I have coveted the daughters 

Of the women of Babylon 

And I have seen them fall 

Without emotion 

And I have heard the call 

Without devotion 

And I have tasted wealth 

God knows it's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

It's a crime 

The Perfect Crime
