Lyrics - 'Lifter

VERSE 1 :

Oh can't you see I'm a gangster?
I stole everything I own.
A professional shop lifter,
superstore Al Capone!

I glide through the aisles.
Can't keep my hands to myself.
Swipe a CD in a blink of an eye,
like it's good for my health!

MID VERSE 1 :

Oh when I feel the urge,
a power surge, to steal.
I roam the aisles like a preying bird
I swoop straight in for the kill!

CHORUS :

You can only blame society,
C'os it's such a shame, nothing is free! You see !!

VERSE 2 :

'Need to increase my collection
of music CDs n' videos.
'Enter the store, with a mission,
in my jacket and overcoat.

The CD albums cost double digits,
abstract titles so extreme!
Lifted one called the 'Purple Edit',
"what the hell does that mean?"

MID VERSE 2 :

On my way to the door,
I was grabbed, thrown to the floor.
I was frisked for the disk
by a detective of the store.

CHORUS :

You can only blame society,
C'os it's such a shame, nothing is free! You see !!

VERSE 3 :

I was charged for my thieving ways.
Now I have to pay my dues,
forced to return my ill gotten gains,
to disown my social views.

MID VERSE 3 :

But I'll never lose the urge,
the power surge to steal.
Still roam the aisles like a preying bird,
I swoop straight in for the kill!

CHORUS :

You can only blame society,
C'os it's such a shame, nothing is free! You see !!
