well it's a system of greed. where priorities are askew. it seems the people who do real work have holes in their shoes. complete a touchdown pass and you'll get all the press. the distribution of wealth is a joke and the joke is on you. chorus: legalized theft - it's like a money printing press. legalized theft - let the wrong rule the rest. to make your mark, you've got to cut your costs. and if you look away now, your spinoffs could get lost. create a toxic brew and new products too. filters, sunscreens and hordes of medicine too. chorus: legalized theft - it's like a money printing press. legalized theft - so the wrong can rule the rest. but the biggest crooks of all sit elected on top. makin' laws to help their friends while they pay off the cops. then they tell all the natives they got no rights here. now they're f****** with the g****** working man's beer. chorus: legalized theft - it's like a money printing press. legalized theft - and for us there ain't much left. legalized theft - you better take the crumbs that's left. legalized theft - so the wrong can rule the rest.
