Grace Jones - White Collar Crime

You're down and out and hungry, you rob the liquer store The pig throwed away the key after he's locked the door

You were slapped on the hand after you stole little five hundred grams It's outrageous, nobody cares

White collar crime - you don't have to do time Blue collar crime - you do time every time

Stealing from a company Taking all the profits Sharing with your family Reaping all the benefits (?) You're shocking, it's all so mocking

Do they get away with it Will they get away with it Do they get away with it Yes they get away with it

Dirty money today Is clean money tomorrow (A crime, bah)? goes my mind Causes so much sorrow

You take my land - protected by the law You steal one hand - "Hands up against the wall"

It's all the same It'a a money-power game

It's all the same Money-power game
