lyrics

You saw what I took, you saw what I got
Could never believe that I never got caught
I know who you are cause I know who you're not
I saw when you fled, and I saw when you fought

Here comes the robbery
I'd like to see you stop me
I'm through your door without a key
Can't catch me, I'm home free
And you're no better than me
Can't you see that?
Can't you see?

What was the first rule you were taught?
And what was the first rule that you forgot?
Was it "don't take your eyes off the things that you've bought/brought"?
Cause if I like what I see, you know I'll take the whole lot

Here comes the robbery
I'd like to see you stop me
I'm through your door without a key
Can't catch me, I'm home free
And you're no better than me
Can't you see that?
Can't you see?

And you can dust for prints
And search for evidence
But it makes no difference
When no one's innocent

I saw what you took, I saw what you got
Could never believe that you never got caught
But you know who I am cause you know who I'm not
You saw when I fled, you saw when I fought

Here comes the robbery
I'd like to see you stop me
I'm through your door without a key
Can't catch me, I'm home free
And you're no better than me
Can't you see that?
Can't you see?
