Lyrics Bankrobber - The Clash

Bankrobber

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.
And I don't believe in lying back
And saying how bad your life is.
So we came to jaz it up,
Never loved a shovel.
Break your back, earn your pay
And 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
What do you think they want to say to us
While we were being clever
Someday you'll meet your rockin' chair
Cause that's where we're spinnin'
There's no point to want to comb your hair
When its grey and thinin'
So we came to jaz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back earn your pay
And don't forget to grovel
Daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Strike out boy
For the hills
I can't find that hole in the wall
I know that they never will
