Can – The Thief Lyrics 11 years ago
From the Can original, I get:

Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh lord please won't you tell me
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who's like a rock
That always stands

Why must I be the thief
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one to live with an open hand
and Why must I be the thief
he cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man put out his hand
And looked beyond his eye

The thief he climbed that cross
To share that other's fate
But the Jesus man said not now
My brother not now it's far too late
Far too late far too late
Far too late far too late
Far too late far too late
Far too late

Do what you must
Take what you can
Steal the pride from every heart
Every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man

I am the thief
I am the thief
And you may run, yes
And you may hide
But I'll get you yet
Yes I will
Cos you're, cos it's just your pride
Just your pride
Pride pride
Pride pride
Pride pride
Pride pride

I will get you yet
Cos it's justified
I will get you yet
it's justified
I will get you yet
it's justified
