Bankrobber

The Clash

My daddy was a bank robber But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way And he loved to steal your money Some is rich, and some is poor And that's the way the world is But I don't believe in laying back Sayin' how bad your luck is So he came to jazz it up Never learned to shovel Break your back to earn our pay Don't forget to grovel My daddy was a bank robber But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way And he loved to take your money He's gone now The old man spoke up in a bar Said "I never been in prison A lifetime serving one machine Is ten times worse than prison" Imagine if all the boys in jail Could get out now together Whadda you think they'd want to say to us? While we was being clever Someday you'll meet your rocking chair 'Cause that's where we're spinning There's no point to want to comb your hair When it's grey and thinning Oh Hey, my daddy was a bank robber But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way And he loved to steal your money So he came to jazz it up We never learned to shovel Break your back to earn your pay And don't forget to grovel, hey Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away My daddy was a bank robber But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way And he loved to steal your money Hey Run, rabbit run Brrrp, strike out boys, for the hills I can find that hole in the wall I know that they never will Daddy was a bank robber But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way --- Bankrobber - The Clash
