Criminal Intent Protection

No criminal worth his salt

Or is good at his job

Is behind bar's and in prison

They are rather in hiding 

Careful planning what job
to take on next

To fund retirement

Not out spending i'll gotten gain

Just waiting for the right moment

Till the coast is clear

And the reason why they never
get caught

Can blend and live in plain sight

Be absolutely anyone's neighbour 
without raising or arousing an
inclination of suspicion

Otherwise everyone put under
witness protection

Would have to be moved on
a regular basis

Because they stick out like
a sore thumb trying to fit in
