THE CLASH lyrics : "Bankrobber"

my daddy was a bankrobber
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

that's the way the world is
but i don't believe in lying back
sayin' how bad your luck is


so we came to jazz it up
we never loved a shovel

break your back to earn your pay
an' don't forget to grovel


my daddy was a bankrobber
but he never hurt nobody
he just loved to live that way

and he loved to take your money

One love


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

cos that's where we're spinning
there's no point to wanna comb your hair
when it's grey and thinning


my daddy was a bankrobber
but he never hurt nobody

he just loved to live that way
and he loved to steal your money


so we came to jazz it up
we never loved a shovel
break your back to earn your pay

an' don't forget to grovel

get away get away get away get away


my daddy was a bankrobber
but he never hurt nobody

he just loved to live that way
and he loved to steal your money


run rabbit run

strike out boys, for the hills

i can find that hole in the wall
and i know that they never will
