Lyrics[]

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Fingertips in the shape of a gun
Raise it up to your heart, pow, done
Ruby lips pop pink bubblegum
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye, son

I'm Lana Del Ray from the U.S. of A.
Godfather ordered up a hit from the grave
You know why I'm here so I'm not gonna say
Fuckin' up your life in every possible way

'Cause criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world
Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Black bra, red dress, makeup on
I'm the new politician
It ain't rock, but you done rolled
Bye-bye, baby, lose, I won
I'm Lana Del Ray from the U.S. of A.
A figment of your imagination

Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world
Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world

All my boys, raise your voice, let me hear it
L. Del Ray, yay, wanna hear you cheer it
Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

We're in the future now, you can't be weak
Technology and money, you have to live life deadly
We're in the future now, you can't be weak
Technology and money, you have to live life deadly
Deadly, deadly, deadly
D-d-deadly

Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world
Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world

All my boys, raise your voice, let me hear it
L. Del Ray, yeah, wanna hear you cheer it
Criminals run, yeah, the criminals run
Criminals run the world
Oh oh oh oh oh
