1
I plot your rubric scarab, I steal your satellite
1
I want your wife to be my baby tonight
2
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
3
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)
1
Pay me I'll be your surgeon, I'd like to pick your brains
1
Capture you, Inject you, leave you kneeling in the rain
2
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
3
I'm making a career of evil (repeat three times)
4
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
1
And then I'd spend your ransom money, but still I'd keep your sheep
1
I'd peel the mask your wearing, and then rob you of your sleep
2
I choose to steal what you chose to show
And you know I will not apologize
Your mine for the taking
3
I'm making a career of evil.
5
I'm making a career of evil (repeat seven times)
