[Verse 1]
E                  A     E
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
                    Bsus
When you commit the crime
E                  A       E
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
                   Bsus  E
And now you gotta do the time
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                   A    E
It's a 1 2 3 on the felony
                       Bsus
Well not everything is free
E                       A       E
Now that you served the community
                   Bsus  E
It's the life of a petty thief
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C#sus
Its not considered stealing
                      E5
Unless you're getting caught
                    C#sus
But it isn't called stealing
A                        Bsus
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                  A     E
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
                      Bsus
What lies behind your back
E                  A     E
Not a burgler or a bankrobber
             Bsus E
just a kleptomaniac

And now you gotta do some time
