Sinister Side

[Verse 1]
I've got a straw hat
I took it from a tourist stole it right off his head
Because I'm a purist
Next I got his pocket watch (pocket watch)
Stuck at half past three
That was meant for a grandson (meant for a grandson)
But got passed on to me

[Chorus]
I didn't mean for it to hurt
It's just my line of work
There's an angel on the right shoulder tellin' me no
A devil on the left sayin' on with the show
The angel on the right says boy you better think twice
Why does the side of the devil always look so nice

[Verse 2]
I've got a camera
Equipped with a flash
It was taken from someone's
Secret stash
Now I've got some photos (photos)
Though none of myself
All the folks that I don't know (folks that I don't know)
Got empty frames on the shelf

[Chorus]
I didn't mean for it to hurt
It's just my line of work
There's an angel on the right shoulder tellin' me no
A devil on the left sayin' on with the show
The angel on the right says boy you better think twice
Why does the side of the devil always look so nice

[Verse 3]
I've got a backpack
But I did the gal a favor when I took it off her hands
It was freedom that I gave her
Inside I found a history book
On the Russian revolution
Looks like Marx says that I'm justified
With my wealth redistribution

[Chorus]
I didn't mean for it to hurt
It's just my line of work
There's an angel on the right shoulder tellin' me no
A devil on the left sayin' on with the show
The angel on the right says boy you better think twice
Why does the side of the devil always look so nice
