[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff with slides] [tight drum beat enters] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals with light saturation] Take it off the top before I see the down Tax on the tax, that's the oldest crime Call it GST, dress it up nice The same old robbery, new price [Chorus] [full band, driving energy] Highway robbery in broad daylight Badge and a briefcase, not a mask in sight You don't need a gun to steal it all Just a signature and a marble hall [Instrumental Break] [syncopated guitar riff, bass-heavy groove] [Verse 2] Ten percent here, a levy there Death by a thousand cuts, nobody cares You'll never see where the money went Just another bill, another cent [Chorus] Highway robbery in broad daylight Badge and a briefcase, not a mask in sight You don't need a gun to steal it all Just a signature and a marble hall [Bridge] [half-time feel, drums slow down] Tell me again how it's for my own good While you're building mansions out of my neighborhood Every single dollar's got a hole in the seam Leak into the same old greasy machine [Guitar Solo] [wah-wah pedal effect, bluesy bends and fast runs] [Chorus] [full intensity] Highway robbery in broad daylight Badge and a briefcase, not a mask in sight You don't need a gun to steal it all Just a signature and a marble hall [Outro] [vocals become more sparse] Highway robbery In broad daylight Highway robbery In broad daylight [final guitar slide, drums stop abruptly]
