"why must I always be the thief???"

THE JOKER AND THE THIEF lyrics
by JOEL SATTLER

There was a time I knew the thief
I thought I knew him well
I guess he's up in heaven now or maybe down in hell
he was not a handsome man and he had a tell

Everyone deserves a break and a soul to sell
The thief he sang a sad sad song he wasn't really bad
he was just down on his luck
but he wasn't really mad

he only tried to stay afloat in the world in flood
to live outside the law You must have honest blood
The Joker and the thief were riding two white horses
underneath the watchtower in the valley of the shadow
some called it a castle some a mere chateau

the knights were black and vicious
they took all they could blow
the crusaders were conquistadores
they stole the wrath of god
the joker took all that was left
the thief was just a fraud
and when it all was over
we slept up on the mountain
in a state of grace

when the Lord makes a joke
millions of people die
all the teardrops in the world
end up in the sky

the rain comes down and fills the seas
at either end the poles will freeze
the many jokers and infinite thieves
will keep on riding endlessly
