Fortunes Of Thieves

Fortunes of thieves!
They arrive at the scene of the crime,
With their headlines in hand,
"Vote for me!"
Fortunes of thieves!
Their headlines disguise what they're fighting for,
Things that they're living for,
Troubles they're causing for me
-- And you.
I can tell by the lack of surprise,
When they're headlines are kept from your eyes.
Or,
If their lies hit by your eyes,
We agree that they're lies are just setting them free
-- For free.
Then we tell all our stories of horrors,
Of things that were stolen to keep
Fortunes for thieves.
To be fortunes of thieves.
Fortunes of thieves.
They are painting their rose-painted scenery,
Kept by their means and their greed.
Fortunes of thieves.
They all promise their rose painted scenery,
Lifetime security,
Left for the fury in me,
And you.
I can tell by the looks in their eyes,
As their stories are kept from your lives,
Or,
If their lies hit your eyes
And you see that their scenery's painting them free
-- For free.
Then we paint all our stories of horrors,
Where roses were stolen to keep...fortunes for thieves.
We see fortunes of thieves.
Fortunes of thieves.
They inspire the lives that we're fighting for,
Hiding from, keeping us free.
Over again,
They are taking us back from us living there,
Holding them jury in me.
-- And you.
I can tell by the way we surprise them
When only their world seems to be.
Or,
If they take back their lies and their scenery,
Locked by our fury and flee,
For free,
And their looks of surprise at their seeing us
Freeing our rose bushes keep -- fortunes from thieves.
We see... fortunes of thieves.
We keep...fortunes from thieves.
We keep...fortunes of thieves
Together we all get to keep...fortunes of thieves. Fortunes of thieves.
