Four thieves gone One woke up Said we can't use the songs we wrote Swear I've heard that very line I can't claim this music mine Three thieves left One got smart I saw him leaving in his car From the road I heard him scream It lacks originality Two thieves left They both agree They live and die off melody One just fell dead On his back When we listen to the track One thief left He went to jail He left a mile on paper trail He's in for life He doesn't care It's worth the songs that put him there Four thieves gone Four thieves gone Four thieves gone Four thieves gone
