Five Finger Discount Lyrics - Steppenwolf

You say that everybody takes 

And you just take it faster 

To play with other people's coin 

You really seem to master 

Will you tell me if you can 

How you cut out the middleman? 

I pay dues and I pay debt 

You just always seem to get 

That five finger discount 

You just can't do without 

That five finger discount 

You prey on every legal flaw 

That you can find some gain in 

The way you sodomize the law 

Is really quite amazing 

But no one cares, no one feels 

Until it is from him you steal 

Seems like people of your ilk 

Always find a way to milk 

That five finger discount 

Got the blue collar 

Got the white collar 

Got the green dollar 

Color in their eyes 

Some are day-callers 

Some are night crawlers 

Some are stone wallers 

That hide behind a lie 

Some are still hitting books 

Some are hitting banks 

They're hitting below the belt 

Some are doctoring books 

Some are doctoring crooks 

Got their larcenous hooks 

Where the pain can be felt 

Got their hands in my pocket 

Got their gun up my nose 

Where it ends no one knows 

For the scales of Justice 

Appear to have rusted 

They're not to be trusted 

They're busted for good 

You know that you have truly earned 

A moving violation 

For all the suckers you have burned 

You'll feel some dislocation 

You had your gall, had your nerve 

What you got coming you deserve 

Before you leave the human race 

I'm gonna offer to you face 

My five finger discount
