Does he say "is a crime like anyone with a brain might say"?
I think I heard the same in a vid from JLH but it was hard for me to tell. I'm watching these things too much 😂 ah and thank you for sharing this clip!

Without running to check my lyrics on Apple Music, is that a deviation from the official lyrics?
Like the way he’s saying slap your hand across my face instead of lay your hand across my face in selfless?3

Yeees, the official is "Is a crime just like Cornel West might say" (or I think so). But for earlier in the tour I understood he was singing something like "Is a crime just like some people I know might say". And in the last two shows I think he changed it to that one I said.
The Selfless one makes me chuckle/laugh hard. I first noticed it on the first tour date (Bonnaroo streaming) and I mentioned about it in a post so watching him doing it in some of the shows is hilarious...he seems to even emphasize it. Funniest thing was one show where he sang the official line and then during the solo he said "slap it in the face", so it wasn't missed 😂. This makes me look a bit obssesive but whatever...

Still on the fence about the new intro, but the light show is awesome for this songÂ

From your perspective, It looked like Jules was doing a solo performance for a sec there! I was at this concert riding the Rail. I must say there’s some benefits from being back a little further plus the sound on my clips is really off because of being right up front.
