G              C      G 
My Daddy was a bankrobber 
G                   C G (is this G here right?) 
But he never hurt nobody 
G                C         G  
He just loved to live that way 
       C        D          G 
And he loved to steal your money 
G                 C       G 
Some is rich, and some is poor 
G                  C     G (eh?) 
That's the way the world is 
G                      C     G 
But I don't believe in lying back 
C          D        G   
Sayin' how bad your luck is 
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 
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 
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us? 
While we was being clever 
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair 
Cos that's where we're spinning 
There's no point to wanna comb your hair 
When it's grey and thinning 
Run rabbit run 
Strike out boys, for the hills 
I can find that hole in the wall 
And I know that they never will
