Crime And The City Songtext

Sacrifice, for the city's sake you'll watch it incinerate.
Sacrifice, takes a fire to wash away the human waste.

Was it a crime? Was it a crime?
Leave a burning wake in the city's place, was it a crime?

A disgrace, to scrape a city whole and watch it degenerate.
A disgrace, like a parasite. Dig it out to desecrate.

Was it a crime? Was it a crime?
