Bankrobber by The Clash

My daddy was a (1)________ robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just (2)__________ to (3)________ that way
And he loved to steal your money
Some is rich and (4)________ is poor
And that's the way the world is
And I don't believe in lying back
Saying how bad your life is
So we came to (5)________ it up
Never loved a shovel
Break your back to (6)________ your pay
Don't forget to grovel
Daddy was a bank robber
But he (7)__________ 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've never (8)________ in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison"
Imagine if all the (9)________ in jail
Could get out now together
What do you think they (10)__________ say to us
While we were (11)__________ clever
Someday you'll meet (12)________ rockin' chair
'Cause that's (13)__________ we're spinnin'
There's no point to want to comb your hair
When it's gray and thinin'
Hey

Hey
Daddy was a (14)________ robber
But he never hurt nobody
He (15)________ loved to live that way
And he (16)__________ to steal your money
So we (17)________ to jazz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back to (18)________ 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 bank robber
But he never (19)________ nobody
He (20)________ loved to live that way
And he loved to steal (21)________ money
Hey
Run, rabbit, run

Strike out boy
For the hills
I can't find that hole in the wall
I know (22)________ they never will
Daddy was a (23)________ robber
But he never (24)________ nobody...
