[Verse 1]
C Am F G It was somewhere in the suburbs of Philadelphia C Am F G A house was gutted, added onto six times its weight C Am F G About a week to go until the move-in date F C G And everybody runnin' in a six-day race
[Verse 2]
C Am F G There was bangin', there was buzzin' Everybody on their knee C Am F G Running behind, everyone can agree C Am F G Yet four o'clock arrived and someone brought back a case F C G And the power went out in the whole damn place
[Chorus]
F C Property is theft until the thieves are away F C If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained F C B Bb A For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed wire chain F G C And drinking on private land
[Verse 3]
C Am F G From the foreman to the laborers to the migrants to me C Am F G Stop drop and wrap up, pull up a bucket, have a seat C Am F G Tattered T's and ragged jeans all gathered around F C G Finally sayin' something more than, "Move your van, I'm pullin' out."
[Verse 4]
C Am F G And there was something all of us had seen C Am F G The owner was a creep Something greedy stuck in his teeth C Am F G You see, anyone that needs a nine-car garage with heat F C G Ain't never was and never will be no friend to me
[Chorus]
N.C
We're singing
F C Property is theft until the thieves are away F C If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained F C B Bb A For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed wire chain F G C And drinking on private land
[Bridge]
F C Well, toss the empties in the garden F The scapers will scrape 'em out when they come back to dig in G Maybe leave a cap beneath the root G As proof that we exist, oh my
[Verse 5]
C Am F G Well a foreman and a painter laugh and they find some solid ground C Am F G Seems they both hail from the same bars Side of tracks and side of town C Am F G You know, come to think of it We'll all make lefts out of the driveway today F C F You-know-who makes a right and speeds away
[Verse 6]
C Am F G Well, I say cheers C Am F G With our cold sweaty beers C Am F G We won't be allowed around here F C G When those gates all close And then security takes the wheel
[Outro]
C Am F G But that's another time and we'll be on another job C Am F G Just don't call me, man, when your joints crack And your pipes all clog C Am F G I scrape off my watch And if the boss calls, F G C I'll say "we're drinking on private land!"
