Accept Crime Lyrics
Everybody on the count of three
Accept crime 1-2-3
Bethlehem to Galilee
Accept crime 1-2-3
Between the sheets, the voyeur watches you
And each caress takes us one step further from his tired truth
Say, we will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Let the clergy damn our every emotion
Until every impulse is a revolution
And will we know to bring good, we'll let it carry us through
It's your chance to use your disobedience
We will say:
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
There's no police, no police between two beating hearts
I'll feel no guilt
I won't repent
Day to day I accept crime
And that's for me to confess
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Between two beating hearts [x4]
I know
Accept crime 1-2-3
Bethlehem to Galilee
Accept crime 1-2-3
And each caress takes us one step further from his tired truth
Say, we will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Until every impulse is a revolution
And will we know to bring good, we'll let it carry us through
It's your chance to use your disobedience
We will say:
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
There's no police, no police between two beating hearts
I won't repent
Day to day I accept crime
And that's for me to confess
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts

i think this song is about saying fuck you to religion and not letting religions tell you how sex or love is bad and how during sex or love no one can enforce anything on you or regulate it. my guess
yeah guadman is right 'clergy' is a reference to formal religious leaders
yer guadman ur right man 4 sure its about religion and ppl always livin lives around there religion and sayin there is no police they mean that religious beliefs cant be written in law and you can do what you want for instance sex and love r probably the most discussed topics in religion
i think you're right that this is about religion but it could also be about same sex marriage as not every person/religion accepts it. this song is basically saying 'fuck you, we can love whoever we want'.
:)
This song's about same sex marriage. It's about how the church and anyone else shouldn't separate two people who love eachother and how they shouldn't be 'the police between two beating hearts.' It, ssaying that if love is a crime, accept it.
I saw them at the Eastpak Antidote tour and George said the song is about people using religion to justify homophobia.
Definitely my favourite song off OC/YC.
Pretty sure this song is based off George Orwell's 1984. Great book, great song.
