License to Steal
Al Stewart

Intro [8 bars] x 2 of G
G
He walks into the room
He's got a briefcase like a bomb
A smile on both faces
And he calls it aplomb
                      C
He wants a bite of your apple
                  G
Hands you back the peel
        D
He's fresh out of law school
C                               G
He's got a license to steal

           [4 bars]

When he offers his advice
You can guarantee
For several hundred dollars an hour
He will see
Just how many complications
Your life will reveal
He's fresh out of law school
He's got a license to steal

                    C
He's an ambulance chaser
A waver of papers
G
He loves to mix with the movers and shakers
            C
He's taking from them
He's taking from you
D
Lawyers love money
Anybody's will do
 (Just take it)
G
        [4 bars]

He's poking his nose
Into peoples despair
When tragedy strikes
He will always be there
Looking so cool
His greed is hard to conceal
He's fresh out of law school
You gave him a license to steal

[improv 8 bars]

We've got seven hundred thousand
Attorneys at law
Nobody can tell me what we need them all for
We should throw them in chains
Chastise and rebuke them
If that doesn't work
We should take them out and nuke them

            [ 4 bars]

Blow a lawyer to pieces
It's the obvious way
Don't wait for a thesis
Do it today
Take him to the court
Of your final appeal
When you're fresh out of lawyers
You don't know how good it's gonna feel.
