Lyrics
Caught In The Act
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Change your name, get a new address
All it takes is gall
Fifty-five bucks a week's no social security at all
Chorus:
It's a form of reprisal, a song of survival
Keep your morals intact
Don't be naive, you're stealing from thieves
It's a matter of tact
Just don't let yourself get caught in the act
Insure your goods with the AMP
Get your house ransacked
Split the cheque and throw a party
When your stuff comes back
(Chorus)
Buy a dust coat, have it embroidered
"Ace Removal man"
A Myer's salesman will sign your form
Then help to load your van
(Chorus)
Get yourself a delinquent Bankcard
Make it ANZ
Meet your needs and not your greed's
Get yourself ahead
(Chorus)
