Medicinal Criminal
Zebraman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You steal my will my freedom
Keepin' my soul from bleedin'
Let it burn and give me a call
Let me tell you all about the Medicinal criminal
Freedom's calling you
He knows you by your name and soul
Oh don't
Give in to their game
If you let them be
They just become another screen
Oh no
What life do they lead
Give up your eyes your life
What you see is part of their mind
Forcing you to step beside the line
Bleed your being and find what's true
Your healing starts with a falling you
Gotta stand tall he's coming for us all
Medicinal criminal
Hey we're the same all shamed when he looks at you
Break the game
Take the grace
Pull yourself through
You're a name with a face and a soul glued to you
Change your fate
Don't be late
Time is coming too
Freedom's calling you
He knows you by your name and soul
Oh don't
Give in to their game
Give up your eyes your life
What you see is part of their mind
Forcing you to step beside the line
Bleed your being and find what's true
Your healing starts with a falling you
Gotta stand tall he's coming for us all
Medicinal criminal
You act so primal, primal
Stealing my soul always hooked on the critical
Givin' me a taste for the cynical
We're trapped in this house but we're lookin' at the windows
Freedom's calling you
He knows you by your name and soul
Oh don't
Give in to their game
Give up your eyes your life
What you see is part of their mind
Forcing you to step beside the line
Bleed your being and find what's true
Your healing starts with a falling you
Gotta stand tall he's coming for us all
Medicinal criminal
