Stealing from a Thief

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Don't want a life like my parents had

Don't want a life like my rich friends have

Don't want to live by association

Don't want to live the great maybe

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I want a life not a name online

I want to live it in real time

I want a life just so I can be

I never asked what was in it for me

I never asked what was in it for me

[Chorus]

Stealing from a thief

My humanity

I know my name, I know my pain

I know my frequency

Stealing from a thief

Dancing with the beast

I know my name, I know my pain

I know my frequency

[Verse 2]

As a kid I'd play make believe

As a man I play make believe

As a kid I'd do anything

As a man I do everything

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I live my life centered and humane

I live my life like a man insane

I want a life just so I can be

I never asked what was in it for me

I never asked what was in it for me

[Chorus]

Stealing from a thief

My humanity

I know my name, I know my pain

I know my frequency

Stealing from a thief

Dancing with the beast

I know my name, I know my pain

I know my frequency

[Bridge]

I get up, I get up, I get up and go

I grab a hold and reach way down

To find something that I really believe

I don't need to console myself

If I don't like what I see

[Guitar Solo: Paul Crook]

[Pre-Chorus]

I never asked what was in it for me

[Chorus]

Stealing from a thief

My humanity

I know my name, I know my pain

I know my frequency

Stealing from a thief

Dancing with the beast

I know my name, I know my pain

I know my frequency
