x4
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
Now he's turning on the charm, working for the counting house
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
x4
Once there was a crooked man, spouting all about one for all
Watching all our wages fall, holding tight to his bonus ball
Now he's turning on the charm, in the bank that we restored
Now he sits on his fat arse, selling the dreams we can't afford
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
x8
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
Now he's turning on the charm, working for the counting house
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
x 2
That's the way your money goes
