Bankrobber/Robber Dub lyrics
by The Clash
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Some is rich, and some is poor
That's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lyin' back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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"
[Verse 4]
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
Whadd'ya think they'd want to say to us?
While we was bein' clever
[Verse 5]
Someday you'll meet your rockin' chair
'Cause that's where we're spinnin'
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning
[Chorus]
Daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Hey
Get away, get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, get away
[Chorus]
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
Run rabbit run
[Verse 6]
Strike out boys
For the hills
I can't find that hole in the wall
And I know that they never will
[Chorus]
Daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way...
