"The Thieves"

The thieves are always just around the corner
The thieves are always everywhere at once
Here they come to take away anything they can get their hands on
Sentimental value disregarded

The thieves outside your garage fondling crowbars
My guitars and your custom cars awaiting
Here they come to take away anything they can get their hands on
All your time and hard work disregarded

Take a trip, take a trip down memory lane
Think of the things you've lost but all the strength that you've gained
All of the trauma, all of the loss and all of the pain
It's not a touch on all the strength that you've gained

Take a trip, take a trip down memory lane
Think of the things you've lost but all the strength that you've gained
All of the trauma, all of the loss and all of the pain
It's not a touch on all the strength that you've gained

The thieves, they stole straight from my bank account
And the thieves, they took one of my greatest friends away
Because the thieves are always obvious, life itself is a thief
And drink and drugs and hate and love

The thieves prefer to pray in the silence
Never afraid to wield excessive violence
Even time is a thief, it takes away everyone you want to save
Are you prepared to lose it all and continue?
The thieves helped me to deal with the change

Take a trip, take a trip down memory lane
Think of the things you've lost but all the strength that you've gained
All of the trauma, all of the loss and all of the pain
It's not a touch on all the strength that you've gained

Take a trip, take a trip down memory lane
Think of the things you've lost but all the strength that you've gained
All of the trauma, all of the loss and all of the pain
It's not a touch on all the strength that you've gained
