Lyrics for Bankrobber by The Clash
Songwriters: Jones, Mick; Mellor, John
And he loved to steal your money
An' don't forget to grovel
But he never hurt nobody
I know that they never will
He just loved to live that way
Daddy was a bank robber
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
Break your back to earn our pay
Don't forget to grovel
Get away, get away, get away
And he loved to take your money, my love
But he never hurt nobody
But he never hurt nobody
But he never hurt nobody
What do you think they'd want to say to us?
And he loved to steal your money
But I don't believe in lying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
An old man spoke up in a bar
He just loved to live that way
Hey
My daddy was a bank robber
Could get out now together
Is ten times worse than prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Break your back to earn your pay
When it's gray and thinning
So we came to jazz it up
Someday, you'll meet your rocking chair
He just loved to live that way
Run, rabbit, run
'Cos that's where we're spinnin'
We never loved a shovel
Hey, Daddy was a bank robber
We never loved a shovel
So we came to jazz it up
And he loved to steal your money
Run, strike out boys, for the hills
That's the way the world is
Daddy was a bank robber
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Some is rich, some is poor
He just loved to live that way
He said, "I never been in prison"
I can find that hole in the wall
While we was being clever
Get away, get away, get away, get away
