There's More to Life Than Crooks Songtext
von Lightning in a Twilight Hour

Some saw it all the same
But wouldn′t believe their eyes
Some knowing wrong from right
Couldn't locate a spine
Any crime
Any time
Seems to be just fine

That′s one way to escape
The closing door
The prison walls
Become the candidate
Run to be untouchable
Whatever happened to our better angels?


Swallowing lies as history repeats
(Not a single care for those they put at risk)
The lack of surprise within these defeats
(Not a single thought for the stakes they missed)
Not a single care for those they put at risk
(Swallowing lies as history repeats)
Not a single thought for the stakes they missed
(The lack of surprise within these defeats)
For the stakes they missed

Leave no-one behind
Reject what they don't hide
The othering, belittling
The misplaced pride
And let your existence be the resistance
Be the resistance

Illuminate what's tender, illuminate what′s wise
(Swallowing lies as history repeats)
Don′t let yourself surrender to feeling occupied
(The lack of surprise within these defeats)
And as you see him being let off all the hooks
(Illuminate what's tender, illuminate what′s wise)
Remember there is more, more to life than crooks
(Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied)
And as you see him being let off all the hooks
(Illuminate what′s tender, illuminate what's wise)
Remember there is more, more to life than crooks
(Don′t let yourself surrender to feeling occupied)
There's more to life than crooks
