From a darkened corner I sit and stare
An abused cliché it's a rotten day
Masked in scandal and movie fear
Bad business broken fingers I can't parlay
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
I am the law which they won't abide
The creative crushed to stoke the fire
Got the cover they can not hide
My work is proof that they have no desire
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
Be wary of spies in the big pit
Friends and foes will do as they see fit
Don't count your cards to soon
Money can burn and your friends can too
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
We don't want (the Shaft) She may want (the Shaft)
He don't need (the Shaft) They may need (the Shaft)
