Early reviews I read about that song made that mistake, but I figured they'll eventually realize the word he sings is "crying," not "crime." Crime doesn't even make sense in that context!

So fast forward to today, and I see the same mistake made by the staff in the lead article for antsmarching dot org! What gives?! He does sing "crying," does he not?!
the "staff" didn't write it. It was written by a fan defending the song.


the "staff" did think it was pretty funny that the defender didn't know the words, however. The "staff" may have intentionally left the error in place.
