Was It Worth It
Their tools are quick fingers and sharpness of mind
They must keep well alert or they will soon find
That their collar is felt and their future is dire
As they might well get caught for the way they acquire
Their cheek is astounding, I haven’t the gall
To purloin in their fashion as they cruise the Mall
They will shoplift to order, Just name your request
And they’ll be back in five minutes if not under arrest
A Laptop or X-Box with the latest games too
Just agree on how many and a price that suits you
You’ll save lots of money if you shelve your regrets
As you hand over your cash for those cheap cigarettes
Sometimes it goes wrong when they pinch from a store
And then they end up in the hands of the law
It’s a risky profession with high prospect to fail
As sooner or later they will end up in Jail
If You’ve spent your cash on what ‘Fell of a lorry’
It’s no good you crying or saying you’re sorry
To the Judge as he reads out your sentence in court
For buying bent goods from the shoplifting sort
