My read on the story is that it's a metaphor for the military-industrial complex and the warmongering criminals funneling our resources into war and destruction to serve their own ends and fill their own pockets.
@@mpchead621 Fair enough. Like with most things Aes, there is usually more than one answer. I was considering it in the context of the rest of the album, which (as you alluded to) is very much colored by his experience in post 9/11 NYC at the height of the Iraq war. A surface reading of the text shows it to be a story about shoplifting, but in context (supported by lines such as 'capture the flag' accompanied by a military march drumbeat) this can be read as a metaphor relating the greedy and rapacious mindset of the character in the story to that of those guiding society toward war and conquest.

"🖐🏽 finger discount." 😂
39 thieves from the same album.
Great choice. His vocal delivery on this album is flawless.
Do "The Harbor is Yours" next.
Also Fish Tales which the Harbor is loosely a remix of... 2 different stories, same beat
This is from 2007.
this from skelethon? this came out in 2007

Damn that’s deep 🤔 I gotta listen back with this in mind and see now
There may be some of that going on on this album but pretty sure this song is just about shoplifting
