Lyrics
Endeavors make no difference all your efforts are in vain,
Spectacles, testicles, watch and wallet, you've got that down in spades.
Romantic love and liquid cash they never walk your way
Beat it! To your consciousness, just one card left to play
Shoplifting in the closet but you've gotta have what it takes
Entering the habit, philanthropy at stake. (x2)
Not ones fault the way you see it, it's out of your control
Not living in some banana republic, the story must unfold
It's wrong I know but good for show, your mind goes to and fro
Keep one foot in put one foot out, but which way should you go...
Shoplifting in the closet but you've gotta have what it takes
Entering the habit, philanthropy at stake. (x2)
-solo-
"The only thing that's free is life, but living has its price. Shoplifting is a rush, a thrill, but its novelty sits still. It's wrong, to purloin, to purloin, to purloin..."
Shoplifting in the closet but you've gotta have what it takes
Entering the habit, philanthropy at stake. (x4)
Philanthropy at stake...
Philanthropy at stake...
