Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Once I Was a Thief lyrics

Aaay-Oh! Aaay-Oh! Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed Yesterday a rebel, today I'm just a snob Last night I was king of gypsies, this morning I'm a slob Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed But hey, did you get lucky on the inside? Hey Hey! Did you get lucky on the inside? Aaay-Oh! Aaay-Oh! Once a cool heretic 'til I turned orthodox Came to cure the lepers, and caught the chicken pox I went to sea a buccaneer and I washed ashore a swab Once I was a theif, now I'm getting robbed But hey, did you get lucky on the inside? Hey Hey! Did I get lucky on the inside too? Instead of waiting in the long, long queue after a ride so brief Once I was thief, Once I was a thief I used to steal so many hearts, now I'm just watching stocks Swore I'd die with boots on, now I'd settle for my socks. Took the road less travelled, but I got trampled by the mob Once I was a thief, now I'm getting robbed Once I as a thief, now I'm getting robbed But hey, did you get lucky on the inside? Hey Hey! Can we get luck on the inside? Hey! Could I get lucky on the inside too? Instead of waiting in the long, long queue after a ride so brief Once I was thief, Once I was a thief, Once I was a thief.
