White Collar Crime
Down and out and hungry, you rob a liquor store
They throw away the key, happy to lock the door
You get slapped on the hand after you've stolen 500 grand
It's outrageous, nobody cares
White collar crime, you don't have to do time
Blue collar crime, you'll do time every time
Stealing from the company, taking all the profits
Sharing with your family, reaping all the benefits
Lavishing your wife, you are
With furs and pearls all her life, you are
Shocking, it's all so mocking
White collar crime, you don't have to do time
Blue collar crime, you'll do time every time
Do they get away with it? Will they get away with it?
Do they get away with it? Yes, they get away with it
Burning money today, is free money tomorrow
(?) goes my mind, causes so much sorrow
You take one man, protected by the law
Who'll steal one (?), ends up against the wall
It's all the same, It's a money power game
White collar crime, you don't have to do time
Blue collar crime, you do time every time
White collar crime, you don't have to do time
Blue collar crime, you do time every time
All the same, money power game
It's all the same, money power game
It's all the same, It's a money power game
All the same, it's a money, a money, power, the power game
It's all the same
