- If You Wanna Steal (you Better Learn How To Lie) LyricsMy father Michael is a genius
He sees this world the way no one can
He brought me up and he shaped my mind
At the tender youthful age of 9
He said don't take this for the way it is
You better watch out son when you give in
Before you know it the friends you trust
Will have stabbed you in the back he said
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
The fine line between genius and insanity
Is one he often treads so patiently
While pigs and bulls will always try to lock the door
A system built to perpetuate
Pushers pushin', dealers dealin' with they can't escape
I got kids and homes to protect
There's no living in this wage that they have set
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
Sometimes when my apathy creeps on up from behind me
It reminds me why I moved my TV
Out of the room where I make love in case I might just look up
And see the sky is falling from above, see it falling from above
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
Oh yeah
He sees this world the way no one can
He brought me up and he shaped my mind
At the tender youthful age of 9
He said don't take this for the way it is
You better watch out son when you give in
Before you know it the friends you trust
Will have stabbed you in the back he said
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
The fine line between genius and insanity
Is one he often treads so patiently
While pigs and bulls will always try to lock the door
A system built to perpetuate
Pushers pushin', dealers dealin' with they can't escape
I got kids and homes to protect
There's no living in this wage that they have set
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
Sometimes when my apathy creeps on up from behind me
It reminds me why I moved my TV
Out of the room where I make love in case I might just look up
And see the sky is falling from above, see it falling from above
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
Oh yeah
