It's a crime, to never leave your hometown
To never get to go down
To where the music plays
And it's a crime to never see the big sky
To let the world just pass by
Never seeing the highway
It's a crime to hide what you're thinking
Dont wait until you've been drinking
To say what you really mean
And it's a crime to never chase a rainbow
To never let your mind go
To places you've never been
Don't be a criminal
Don't steal your own opportunities
Dont be a criminal
A self-inflicted penalty
It's a crime to wait until you're married
To see if you'll get carried
Away by his embrace
It's a crime for it to be too easy
Your fantasy seems so dreamy
But the real world will slap you in the face
Don't be a criminal
Don't steal your own opportunities
Dont be a criminal
A self-inflicted penalty
And it's a crime
To never love completely
To use your heart discretely
To chase them all away
And it's a crime to never see tomorrow
To have to beg, steal and borrow
Your minutes and your days
Don't be a criminal
Don't steal your own opportunities
Dont be a criminal
A self-inflicted penalty
It's a crime...
It's a crime...
It's a crime...
