Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
It's a 1 2 3 on the felony
Well, not everything is free
Now that you served the community
It's the life of a petty thief
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But it isn't called stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
What lies behind your back
Not a burglar or a bank robber
Just a kleptomaniac
It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But Jimmy caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're gettin' burned
And now you gotta do the time
Oh, now you gotta do the time
Oh, now you gotta do some time
