Crimes on Paper

You should have known us in our Vietnam days
 When we could save the planet saturating the tape
 My closet bed, don't have time to sleep around it
 Someday they're read about the world that we've created
 Just for our heads, learn to swim or end up sinking
 Unconditional
 Imitation of
 All the senseless world
 Are material
 Crimes on paper
 And since the here and now has come of age
 And all my friends are tripping
 Telling me to stretch my eyes around my head
 Watch your back for real they tell me
 Don't want to read about you boy in the obituary
 Ignore what you've read, don't have time to read about it
 Unconditional
 Imitation of
 All the senseless world
 Are material
 Crimes on paper
 Now maybe somewhere someone's jotting this down
 So in a million years from now when it's still around
 They can wonder who we were
 Wonder what we did, who we knew
 And all the legends of our time
 Are they really true, I doubt you do
 Then again I wouldn't blame you
 Unconditional
 Imitation of
 All the senseless world
 Are material
 Crimes on paper
