Lyrics
It's so easy, all you've got to do is walk
Into a shop and pick up whatever you want
The only limits we set, what can we get away with
In that official design
The only way we find of hiding the ugly feelings
To make unnecessary pain
Each time you draw in like a breath
It comes out like a knife
You feel like offing yourself tonight
Oh what a flight
The little you can expect to get from anyone else
Makes you look after number one
The only helping hand you'll ever be offered
Is the one at the end of your own arm
Draw in like a breath
It comes out like a knife
You're trying to shout but your lungs are on fire
However much you try to weigh in the mood
You feel you want to do it just like the other do
Run into things and blow your own head flat to the floor
Maybe next year will have a chance just like it does now
Doesn't it go to show you
What do you have to show me
The limit of the limits we set
Doesn't it go to show you
What do you have to tell me
How convenient it can be to forget
Draw in like a breath
It comes out like a knife
You feel like offing yourself
Shoplifting my little brother
Shoplifting my little sister
So all you've got to do is just hop over through the door
And when they come to check you out you know come back for more
Shoplifting my little brethren
Shoplifting my little sistren
Tell me which one would you prefer
A hundred pound fine or three months in prison mi yah customer
Shoplifting, shoplifting, shoplifting, shoplifting
