Take what we need

I felt like writing something different. So I wrote this, it's about being a thief.

Cruising down life

Taking what we need

We know it's wrong

But it's so much fun

To feel the adrenaline

No one cares what we do

As long as the impact isn't on you

You could care less too

Break a window 

Take what we need

Riots are our best friends

Black market just too fun

We try to stop

Then give up the ghost

And go rob the next store

Let the music play

In your brand new Porsche

Where'd you get it from?

I might just like my own

This is what we do

Take what we need

Sell it off again

Profit to the max

When you pay nothing 

In the first place

So we take what we need

And get everything we want

Excellent write Jake.. this is a deeper poem than just that of a thief, imho. For me, it is a metaphor for anyone in life taking what they want regardless of who gets hurt or who cares. Definitely thought-provoking and a great political/cultural read.
