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 |
Sayln’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 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 |
Run rabbit run |
Strike out boys, for the hills |
I can find that hole in the wall |
And i know that they never will |
