Five Finger Discount (Live at Clifftop) Lyrics

Walkin' down the aisles at the big box corporate store

See all these shiny things that I just can't afford

I take a look around, make sure I'm being ignored

I put what I want right in my pocket and I walk on out the door

I never rob no mom and pop

what do you take me for?

Stealing from both friend or foe goes against my morals

But when it comes to these companies they don't deserve my dime

My conscious is clear, it's all on clearance for free 99

I'm shopliftin'

Shopliftin'

Take if off the shelf

Treat yourself

Why not shop lift it?

These corporate stores they hoard resources and run on greed

While the poor can't afford to meet their basic needs

They exploit their labor force, comercialize and commodify

They line their pockets with massive profits

So I line mine with merchandise

Steal from the rich

Give to the poor

They've got their tax loopholes

Wealth hidden offshore

If we can't have wholesale change

We'll have to nickel and dime

Scannin' bananas for every item at the self checkout line

Shopliftin'

Shopliftin'

Fight the man any way you can

Why not shoplift it?

I pilfered plenty of packs of pens

Pinched some vitamins and supplements

Grabbed a bag of jerky and a bottle of booze

Boosted some juice and kombucha too

Snatched a fashionable shirt I'd seen

Nicked a new novel I been meaning to read

Took my time didn't call attention

Didn't pay no mind to the loss prevention

Nabbed some nailpolish cuz it only cost a buck

Absconded with some condoms cuz they cost far too much

Robbed them of salami

When I went down to the Deli

Took all their free samples

Till I filled up my big belly

I stole a look at one last treat before I decided to leave

Shoplifted some chocolate cuz all chocolate should be free

Shoplifting

Shoplifitng

Take the power back, kleptomaniacs

Why not shoplift it?
