In & Out

The workin' man's life is hard
Grindin' all day, just to earn your pay
But I never cared much for rules
So I found myself an easier way
When I see what I want, then I'm gonna make it mine
And you know that there's no doubt
And about that other clown, who thinks he owns it now
Well he don't get much say, cause I'm in and out.

In and out, no complications
In and out, I've got the touch
In and out, your locks and guard dogs really don't slow me down much
In and out, your consternation
In and out, gives me a rush
In and out, with all the cool stuff you've got I'll be living lush.

Consider the fairer sex
They always rent-to-own, want to keep you at home
And one woman is surely a treat
But why stop at one, when you can have more fun?
I show them a good time, I show them the dance floor
And things that make them shout
Tell 'em what they want to hear, but then it's goodbye, my dear
And a different one next night, cause I'm in and out

In and out, in past defenses
In and out, out despite their charms
In and out, I've dealt with locks but never yet found an alarm
In and out, delight the senses
In and out, so soft and warm
In and out, but a rose on the pillow is all they'll find when morning dawns.

Some people just don't understand
If you stay in one spot, then you might as well rot
Many things can drag you down
But keep on the move, and you'll never get caught.
When the going gets tough, then the smart move out of town
And there's always a new one about
New friends to replace the old, and whole new piles of gold
Only traps are left behind, when I'm in and out

In and out, just take the good stuff
In and out, and leave the the crate
In and out, when trouble comes, it finds it's come a little late
In and out, Devil can't catch me
In and out, cause I don't wait
In and out, and when I die I'll pick the lock on Heaven's gate.

The workin' man's life is hard
But I found myself an easier way...
