Intro

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

x4

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

x8

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

x 2

That's the way your money goes
