You say that everybody takes
|
And you just take it faster
|
To play with other people's coin
|
You really seem to master
|
Will you tell me if you can
|
How you cut out the middleman?
|
I pay dues and I pay debt
|
You just always seem to get
|
That Five Finger Discount
|
You just can't do without
|
That Five Finger Discount
|
|
You prey on every legal flaw
|
That you can find some gain in
|
The way you sodomize the law
|
Is really quite amazing
|
But no one cares
|
No one feels
|
Until it is from him you steal
|
Seems like people of your ilk
|
Always find a way to milk
|
That Five Finger Discount
|
|
Got the blue collar
|
Got the white collar
|
Got the green dollar
|
Color in their eyes
|
Some are day-callers
|
Some are night crawlers
|
Some are stone wallers
|
That hide behind a lie
|
Some are still hitting books
|
Some are hitting banks
|
They're hitting below the belt
|
Some are doctoring books
|
Some are doctoring crooks
|
Got their larcenous hooks
|
Where the pain can be felt
|
Got their hands in my pocket
|
Got their gun up my nose
|
Where it ends no one knows
|
For the scales of Justice
|
Appear to have rusted
|
They're not to be trusted
|
They're busted for good
|
|
You know that you have truly earned
|
A moving violation
|
For all the suckers you have burned
|
You'll feel some dislocation
|
You had your gall, had your nerve
|
What you got coming you deserve
|
Before you leave the human race
|
I'm gonna offer to you face
|
My Five Finger Discount
