Well there's a man with his fingers in everybody's pie
I hope he washes some of them sometimes
He talks for money, by talking he eats
He talks to keep himself off the streets
Well if there's anything you need he'll pretend that he's got it
And then he'll pretend that he can't part with it
He studied hunger like a lawyer studies law
He can make a rich man poorer than poor
'Cause he's a shark, slacker
A two-tongued double-dealing money grabber
He's a shark, slacker
A two-tongued double-dealing money grabber
Well he makes two look just like three
With a jiggery-pokery
Make a bad thing look good to me
With a jiggery-pokery
Well he'll make you believe the wrong side is right
He'll make you believe a black horse is white
Whatever he sells you don't be surprised
You'll find yourself cheated half out of your eyes
'Cause when he sells you things he'll hide the price
He wants the whole loaf he ain't content with a slice
He makes the scales dance, weighs one right down
And swears it's just right if it lacks forty pounds
Between the selling, the buying and the politics
There's the profit and the lying so the money sticks
'Cause he's a shark, slacker
A two-tongued double-dealing money grabber
He's a shark, slacker
A two-tongued double-dealing money grabber
Well he makes two look just like three
With a jiggery-pokery
Make a bad thing look good to me
With a jiggery-pokery
When there's a contract to sign you could be signing your will
They used to rob you with a gun now they use a pencil
Words lock you up 'cause words don't bend
So all you get when you sign is the fountain pen
And from father to mother, sister to brother
From cousins to uncles gotta stick to each other
Since cheating has grown to be so much the fashion
I believe cheating runs the whole nation
We're sharks, slackers
A two-tongued double-dealing money grabber
He's a shark, slacker
A two-tongued double-dealing money grabber
Well he makes two look just like three
With a jiggery-pokery
Make a bad thing look good to me
With a jiggery-pokery
