Lyrics for Shoplifters of the World Unite

Learn to love me Assemble the ways Now, today, tomorrow and always My only weakness is a list of crimes My only weakness is well, never mind, never mind, oh Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over Learn to love me And assemble the ways Now, today, tomorrow and always My only weakness is listed crime But last night the plans for a future war Was all I saw on Channel Four Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over A heartless hand on my shoulder A push and it's over Alabaster crashes down Six months is a long time I tried living in the real world Instead of a shell But before I began I was bored before I even began Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Take over
