Caught In The Act lyricsOn Brown Rice and Kerosene (1981), Caught In The Act (1983), The Very Best of Redgum (1987) and The Essential Redgum (2011)
Caught In The Act (Redgum) Change your name, get a new address All it takes is gall Fifty-five bucks a week's no social security at all It's a form of reprisal, a song of survival Keep your morals intact Don't be naive, you're stealing from thieves It's a matter of tact Just don't let yourself get caught in the act Insure your goods with the AMP Get your house ransacked Split the cheque and throw a party When your stuff comes back It's a form of reprisal, a song of survival Keep your morals intact Don't be naive, you're stealing from thieves It's a matter of tact Just don't let yourself get caught in the act Buy a dust coat, have it embroidered "Ace Removal man" A Myer's salesman will sign your form Then help to load your van It's a form of reprisal, a song of survival Keep your morals intact Don't be naive, you're stealing from thieves It's a matter of tact Just don't let yourself get caught in the act Get yourself a delinquent Bankcard Make it ANZ Meet your needs and not your greed's Get yourself ahead It's a form of reprisal, a song of survival Keep your morals intact Don't be naive, you're stealing from thieves It's a matter of tact Just don't let yourself get caught in the act |
