lyrics

Probably would of got away with it
 But you crashed your daddy’s car
 It don’t matter he’ll buy you a new one
 'Coz your daddy’s above the law

I’m sure he can pull a few strings 
And find you an alibi
 Call in the sheep and call in the pigs 
Send them all to the barn early tonight
 So where were you and where were you 
When the money went missing that night 
Were you at home were you alone 
Were you the brain orchestrating from the inside

How you felling are you scared
 Are you worried about what’s going to happen next
 It’s too late your times up 
And I’m sorry you’re out of luck

'Coz your daddy’s above the law 
Your daddy’s above the law
 He gives to the rich and he takes from the poor

It was an inside job but they never saw him coming 
The gun wasn’t loaded but it didn’t stop them running
 And it’s a shame to blame the ones with no money
 If you look a little closer you’ll see something pretty funny

The rich get richer the poor struggle to survive 
Don’t need masks or guns to rob us if we’re blind 
You’re taking their poison straight into your mind 
But no one cares watching desperate house wives
