Shoplifters of the World Unite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Learn to love me, assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a listed crime
My only weakness is- well, never mind, never mind, oh

[Chorus 1]
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over

[Verse 2]
Learn to love me and assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow, and always
My only weakness is a listed crime
But last night the plans for a future war was all I saw on Channel Four

[Chorus 1]
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over

[Verse 3]
A heartless hand on my shoulder - a push and it's over
Alabaster crashes down (six months is a long time)
Tried living in the real world instead of a shell
But before I began...
I was bored before I even began


[Chorus 2]
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Take over

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
