Three Piece Thieves
Dressed to steal
be these corporate suit crooks
Smiling for the cameras,
they do their heist in plain sight
Custom tailored appearance is the image portrayed,
rogue makeup
is the Photoshop picture being digitally overlaid
Tuxedo, black tie and a tweet
is the proper ballroom invitation to steal
Three piece, sat phone and a nine mil
mask the Congress cronies behind the getaway wheel
Voting combination to the tax safe
is a partisan party clique ... click ... clique
get-rich-quick dream legislation scheme away
Sherwood sheriff of the forest green
got three piece island cabana threads ...
Tropical thievery ...
hidden in an offshore coral banking bed
Florida jumpsuit orange
will distract any nuisance witnesses
Press send
to forward the money wire transfer ahead
Three piece thieves
doing the three card Monty
Public slow eyes
can’t follow the politricksters’ fast hands —
Sorry citizens,
you’ve just been robbing hoodwinked again
