Karaoké Bankrobber The Clash

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

That's the way the world is

But I don't believe in lyin' back

Sayin' how bad your luck is

So he came to jazz it up

Never learned to shovel

Break your back to earn our pay

Don't forget to grovel

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

He's gone now

The old man spoke up in a bar

Said I never been in prison

A lifetime servin' 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'd wanna say to us while we was bein' clever

Someday you'll meet your rockin' chair 'cos that's where we're spinnin'

There's no point to wanna comb your hair when it's grey and thinnin'

Hey

Oh yeah

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

So he came to jazz it up

We never learned to shovel

Break your back to earn your pay and don't forget to grovel

Hey

Get away, get away, get away

Get away, get away

Get away, get away

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 hey

Run rabbit run

Brrr

Strike out boys

For the hills

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

Daddy was a bank robber but he never hurt nobody
