The Thief |
Hoodlums, scoundrels, guttersnipes and crooks |
Come hear the truth they never print in books |
Everyone loves a robbery, planned or unplanned |
Larceny and luxury go hand in hand |
So go steal something bloody great today |
Write it in your journal, Jean-Paul Sartre needs a play |
Steal a little once, steal a little better every day |
You’ll need at least seventeen identities and names |
Always stay vigilant and awake |
Because you risk arrest if you make one dumb mistake |
Only when thinking is the single thing without which one would sink |
Has a person ever really earned the right to think |
Say you’re going to steal a great big fish today |
Sit by the river and wait til the anglers look away |
Why grub for money in a system built for wealth? |
Grab that money and have it for yourself |
But don’t be a thief unless it gives you a sexual thrill |
Being a thief’s a calling, it’s vocational |
We’re in an orgy of haggling and treason in the fog |
Don’t just stand there daydreaming, filthy on the dock |
See the dunderhead opium-smuggler fall |
When he fails to shave his beard off in the cheap Belgian hotel |
Steal a little once, steal a little better every day |
With seventeen identities and names |
At every single moment stay vigilant and awake |
They’ll get you if you make one mistake |
Only when thinking is the single thing without which one would sink |
Has a person ever really earned the right to think |
