The Crooked Man Lyrics

Intro: D Cadd9 D x4
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
Now he's turning on the charm, working for the counting house
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth
Chorus:
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Once there was a crooked man, spouting all about one for all
Watching all our wages fall, holding tight to his bonus ball
Now he's turning on the charm, in the bank that we restored
Now he sits on his fat arse, selling the dreams we can't afford
Chorus:
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
Now he's turning on the charm, working for the counting house
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth
Chorus:
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
That's the way your money goes
