Sly Critters

Brian Oliveri

Lyric
Persistent parasites distributed
fortune loading reception
Practicing cause and effect
evaded certifiable exemption
Stripped of all respect
displaced to dispel
Replaced with popular
feeling all is well
Always on the lookout
searching for an opportunity
Undisrupted one-way taking
drifter in your community
Attitude flowing out
directed aim was meant
Vacuum of distrust
thievery sucking vent
Rewarded working method
jungle natured men
Let them achieve once
and they will over and again
