You stodgy, solid citizen, so cocksure and content,
Whose mansion's built on factory toil, and years of grinding rent—
Your character's unblemished, and your conscience is at peace,
But many a better man than you is known to the police.

You smug, right-thinking persons, who could sin not if you would,
Without the strength or brains or heart to do wrong or do good;
Who want things as they are, and take of life a lengthy lease—
There's many a better man than you that's “Wanted by the P'lice”.
