  Why must I be the thief?
  Oh Lord please wont you tell me
  Why must I be the thief
  Why must I be the thief
  He said to the hanging man
  And how come youre the only one
  Thats better off, and always stares
  Why must I be the thief
  He asked of the hanging man
  And how come youre the only one
  Who gives me an open hand
  Why must I be the thief
  He cursed and then he cried
  And the hanging man held out his hand
  And looked beyond the sky
  The thief that climbed the cross
  We should have shared that others fate.
  But the Jesus man said Not now
  My brother, not now, its far too late!
   
  Do what you must
  Take what you can
  Steal the pride from every heart
  Every angered man 
  I am the thief
  I am the thief
  And you will run
  Yes and you will hide
  But Ill get you then
  Yes I will
  Because of you, because its justified
  I will get you yet
  Cause its justified
  I will get you yet
  Its justified
  I will get you yet
  Its justified
