Bob Dylan Lyrics - Tears of Rage Lyrics lyrics

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 you'll be caught stealing

Tryin' to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter, you'll never learn

What lies behind your back

Not a burgler or a bankrobber

Just a kleptomaniac

It's not considered stealing

Unless you're getting caught

But you'll be caught stealing

Tryin' to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter, you'll never learn

When you commit the crime

Shoplifter, you're getting burned

And now you gotta do the time

Oh now you gotta do the time

Well now you gotta do some time
