lyrics

Thick as thieves—they are thick as thieves—
You see their deeds blow away on the breeze
Thick as thieves—they are thick as thieves—
All their creeds crumble away like leaves
Who?

Who shall grieve—who of us shall grieve—
To see our freedom stole away by thieves?
Who can believe—who of us can believe
Anymore any word they say?
Who?

Thick as thieves—ye are thick as thieves—
Just like locusts ya consume our fields
Who shall grieve--none of us shall grieve—
To see the chaff thrashed from the wheat
Who?

Because there is no name for the shame
That overcomes the one who indulges the thief in his game

Thick as thieves—we are thick as thieves—
Who up there can grant us reprieve?
Who shall grieve, ‘cause none of us can believe
Any story our fathers taught us to believe?
Who?
