| 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
