Intro:    x4

                                      
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
                                     
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
                                         
Now he s turning on the charm, working for the counting house
                                    
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth


Chorus:
                                                        
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
                                                  
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that s the way your money goes
                                                       
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
                                                   
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that s the way your money goes


   x4

                                           
Once there was a crooked man, spouting all about one for all
                                            
Watching all our wages fall, holding tight to his bonus ball
                                          
Now he s turning on the charm, in the bank that we restored
                                             
Now he sits on his fat arse, selling the dreams we can t afford


Chorus:
                                                        
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
                                                  
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that s the way your money goes
                                                       
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
                                                   
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that s the way your money goes


   x8

                                      
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
                                          
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
                                         
Now he s turning on the charm, working for the counting house
                                    
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth


Chorus:
                                                        
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
                                                  
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that s the way your money goes
                                                       
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
                                                   
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that s the way your money goes


   x 2

                     
That s the way your money goes
