Wise - The Tiger Lillies

You wonder, how we’re able

With bread upon our table

To be wise

Well, crime is for the starving

So let us all get carving

We’re wise

Lock the thieves and beggars up

For them, well, we don’t give a fuck —

We’re wise

Well, crime is for the poor

And if you aren’t poor any more

You’re wise

We’re middle class and wealthy

Our bank accounts are healthy

We are wise

All the milk of human kindness

Well, we’ve put all that behind us

We are wise

Well, those beggars, whores, and thieves

None of them fool me

We’re wise

Well, we all make a living

The strong, we don’t like giving

We’re wise

We’re… wise
