Jimmy Eat World – Criminal Energy lyrics

[Verse 1]
The ghost of recent misery
Still has a song to sing
You captivated hearts
When it tore a spark
No one you care to recognize
Suddenly in control
Unfortunate to find
What it is inside

[Chorus]
Criminal energy
If you've got blood to bleed
You favor with the thighs
You're reaching every night
Oh, yeah, you'll come to see
We're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood
We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good
Come get it all for free
Criminal energy, criminal energy
Huh

[Verse 2]
And so enemy conspiracy
So irresistible
There's no them to see
Only you and me
No face, no cost for empathy
They tell you all the time
The threat is still alive
Yeah, still alive

Criminal energy
If you've got blood to bleed
You favor with the thighs
You're reaching every night
Oh, yeah, you'll come to see
That we're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood
We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good
Come get it all for free
Criminal energy
Criminal energy
Oh!

[Guitar Solo]

Criminal energy
If you've got blood to bleed
You favor with the thighs
You're reaching every night
Oh, yeah, you'll come to see
That we're the same, we're the same, yeah, it's understood
We're gonna take, gonna take while the getting's good
Come get it all for free
Criminal energy

[Outro]
Criminal energy
Criminal energy
Criminal energy
Criminal energy
