they've seen them around here
they've seen them on the roofs
snooping around Paris
convicting in the courts
with the powdered nose
in a tie or in blue jeans
You've seen them everywhere
without anything else to say
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if I am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
you've seen them on their knees
sitting or squatting
stopped giving lessons
in all the positions
preaching in the churches
until offering concerts
You've seen them in all the bars
distributing ministries
where are the thieves
where is the murderer
perhaps there flailing
in the neighbor's patio
and what happens if they are
and what happens if I am
the one who plays this guitar
or the one who sings this song
the one who sings this song
