AFI - Beautiful Thieves

Song: Beautiful Thieves

Artist: AFI

Album: Crash Love

AFI (which stands for "A Fire Inside" just in case you were wondering) is an American rock band from California.

I think the song Beautiful Thieves is about fame. The lyrics seems to be about how famous people can get away with more than other people. About how some celebrities can do all kinds of illegal shit and get away with it, when any normal unfamous person would be in deep trouble if they did the same thing. And maybe even about how people worship celebrities to a disturbing point, blindly following something we don't truly know.

"Beautiful Thieves"

My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlit strangers?
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover

Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful Thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects

Ah

Oh,
Are we running toward death?
I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers

Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects

Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?

Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects at all
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
