E                   A     E
Shoplifter, you'll never learn
                      B
When you commit the crime
E                   A       E
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
                   B      E
And now you gotta do the time

It's a 1,2,3 on the felony
Well, not everything is free
Now that you serve the community
It's the life of a petty thief

Chorus:
                     C#m
Its not considered stealing
                       E
Unless you're getting caught
                    C#m
But it isn't called stealing
  A                           B
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 some kleptomaniac

Chorus

Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time

                   B      E
And now you gotta do the time
                   B       E
And now you gotta do some time
