I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I’m making a career of evil

Pay me I’ll be your surgeon, I’d like to pick your brains
Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I’m making a career of evil

I’d like your blue eyed horseshoe, I’d like your emerald horny toad
I’d like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road

And then I’d spend your ransom money, but still I’d keep your sheep
I’d peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
I’m making a career of evil
