Lyrics

STEEL-EYED CHEAT (The Lie, Cheat, and Steal Song)

You keep repeating
This one childish thought:
“It can be cheating
If I don’t get caught.”
There’s no retreating
From this twisted plot.
Conscience calls a meeting,
But you’d rather not.

Have you forgotten your mission?
Forgotten your goal?
Who on earth gave you permission
To market your soul?

You lie to your wife;
You lie to your friends.
When lies come to life
They live without end.
You’re under the knife;
Now, it all depends
On just how much strife
Your lying will send.

Have you forgotten your mission?
Forgotten your goal?
Who on earth gave you permission
To market your soul?

You steal anything
That’s not nailed down;
Just in case, you bring
Your hammer to town.
Some watches and rings,
And a full-length gown.
The fat lady sings;
You don’t hear a sound.




Have you forgotten your mission?
Forgotten your goal?
Who on earth gave you permission
To market your soul?

You steal, lie, and cheat.
Your heart's full of deceit,
Dark and dirty deeds.
You're a steel-eyed cheat.

Have you forgotten your mission?
Forgotten your goal?
Who on earth gave you permission
To market your soul?
