License To Steal Lyrics

License To Steal lyrics

(Al Stewart)

 

 He walks into the room

 He's got a briefcase like a bomb

 A smile on both faces

 And he call it aplomb

 He wants a bite of your apple

 Hands you back the peel

 He's fresh out of law school

 He's got a license to steal

 

 When he offers his advice

 You can guarantee

 For several hundred dollars an hour

 He will see just how many complications

 Your life will reveal

 He's fresh out of law school

 He's got a license to steal

 

 He's an ambulance chaser

 A waver of papers

 He loves to mix wit hthe movers and shakers

 He's taking from them

 He's taking from you

 Lawyers love money

 Anybody's will do

 Just take it

 

 He's poking his nose into people's despair

 When tragedy strikes he will always be there

 Looking so cool

 His greed is hard to conceal

 He's fresh out of law school

 You gave him a license to steal

 

 We've got seven hundred thousand

 Attorneys at law

 Nobody can tell me what we need them all for

 We should throw them in chains

 Chastise them and rebuke them

 If it doesn't work

 We ought to take 'em out and nuke 'em

 

 Blow a lawyer to pieces

 It's the obvious way

 Don't wait for a thesis

 Do it today

 Take him to the court of no final appeal

 When you're fresh out of lawyers

 You don't know how good it's gonna feel
