Lyrics

The cops and the kids and the cats and the robbers
And the stolen moments from the out-of-tune guitars
Skipping out of school and sneaking into shows
All kissing on the lips while we all play
All the wonderful ifs
My pulse is all in my lips
Enough to make collagen jealous
How could anyone grow out of
This beautiful beautiful skin
When we are all dancing
Police is always watching
And we always have to move along!

Pirates and bankrobbers not lawyers or CEOs
Stockbrokers ain't no heroes!
Pirates and bankrobbers not lawyers or CEOs
Stockbrokers ain't no heroes!

The katzenjammer kids and the phantom of the opera
The band of the moment from whom we stole the guitar
The exception to the rule
Which only goes to show you can never can be sure
What the rules are
Do androids dream of electronic sheep?
If I should die while I'm asleep
Bury me okay on the lone prairie
Where children still want to grow up to be!

Pirates and bankrobbers not lawyers or CEOs
Stockbrokers ain't no heroes!
Pirates and bankrobbers not lawyers or CEOs
Stockbrokers ain't no heroes!

You can't let gossip get you pissed
You can't worry about cuts on your face and your fist
It's all a parcel and a part of
Zen and the art of breaking everything!

Pirates and bankrobbers not lawyers or CEOs
Stockbrokers ain't no heroes!
Pirates and bankrobbers not lawyers or CEOs
Stockbrokers ain't no heroes!
Lawyers hate bankrobbers
Pirates steal from CEOs
Stockbrokers killed your heroes!
