Clash The Bank Robber Lyrics

Bank Robber Lyrics

My daddy was a bankrobber

but he never hurt anybody

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

and 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



the old man spoke up in bar

said i never been in prison

a lifetime supply 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

run rabbit run

strike out boys for the hills

i can find that hole in the wall

and i know that they never will
