Lyrics

Shoplifter

Shoplifter, you'll never learn When you commit the crime Shoplifter, you're getting burned And now you gotta do the time It's a 1, 2, 3 on the felony Well not everything is free Now that you served the community It's the life of a petty thief It's not considered stealing Unless you're getting caught But you'll be caught stealing Tryin' to take something you haven't got Shoplifter, you'll never learn What lies behind your back Not a burglar or a bankrobber Just a kleptomaniac STOP! ATTENTION! It's not considered stealing Unless you're getting caught But you'll be caught stealing Tryin' to take something you haven't got Shoplifter, you'll never learn When you commit the crime Shoplifter, you're getting burned And now you gotta do the time Oh now you gotta do the time Well now you gotta do some time
