Bankrobber Lyrics - Essential Clash - The Clash

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 

And thats 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 

Daddy was a bankrobber 

But he never hurt nobody 

He just loved to live that way 

And he loved to take your money (What law?)

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 (Hey) 

Hey 

Daddy was a bankrobber 

But he never hurt nobody 

He just loved to live that way 

And he loved to steal your money

So we came to jaz it up 

We never loved a shovel 

Break your back earn your pay 

And don't forget to grovel (Hey) 

Get away, get away 

Get away, get away 

Get away, get away 

Get away 

Daddy was a bankrobber 

But he never hurt nobody 

He just loved to live that way 

And he loved to steal your money 

Run, Laddy, run 

Strike out boy 

For the hills 

I can't find that hole in the wall 

I know that they never will 

My Daddy was a bankrobber 

But he never hurt nobody 

He just loved to live that way 

And he loved to steal your money
