[Verse 1]
I'm a petty thief
And what I find I keep
I was supposed to set an example
But I am a vandal
Yeah, the paper's nice
But it's the rush I like
You don't care about the money
When you're an adrenaline junkie

[Pre-Chorus]
Words will chain me
After they let me loose
And realise that maybe there are

[Chorus]
Small crimes but
Some things I just wouldn't do
White lies burn
Sometimes I just can't keep to

[Verse 2]
And if I gave it up
Would I still be a thug?
You don't choose to play the bad guy
It's in your bloodline
And I left my heart
At the scrap metal yard
You don't get to be human
When you're a hooligan
[Pre-Chorus]
Words will chain me
After they let me loose
And realise that maybe there are

[Chorus]
Small crimes but
Some things I just wouldn't do
White lies burn
Sometimes I just can't keep to
Small crimes but
Some things I just wouldn't do
White lies burn
Sometimes I just can't keep to

[Outro]
I'm a petty thief
What I find I keep
I was supposed to set an example
But I am a vandal
