Lyrics -Bankrobber- The Clash

Try looking up lyrics online and you run into a lot of half-assed jumble.

So I have transcribed for you the words and phrases of one of the greatest fucking songs ever written.
This turned into a two-hour post that just got eaten so I'll get right to the giving.

"Ahh Ahh Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ohh Ohh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Ma 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 Some is poor
That's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is

So he gave to charity he loved
Never loved a shovel
Break you back to earn your pay
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
Run low
Ahh Ahh Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ohh Ohh Oh Oh Oh Oh

The Old Man spoke up in a bar
Said "I've never been in prison...
A ifetime servin' 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 bein' 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 thinnin'

Eh
Ahh Ahh Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ohh Ohh Oh Oh Oh Oh

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 jazz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
An' don't forget to grovel
Hey
Ahh Ahh Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ohh Ohh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Get away get away get away get away get away get away get away

Hey Daddy was a Bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Hey

Run rabbit run

(Rolled 'R')
Strike out boy
For the hills
I can find that hole in the wall
An' I know that they never will
Daddy was a Bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way..."

Enjoy.

OH GODFUCKINGDAMNITALLTOHELL!

Pardon the outburst... But at this very moment, I have an Internet Explorer window that is "Not Responding" that holds a post I've been working an entire two hours on since I've been holding my wad a while. As I am out of practice, I did not paste the contents into a Word file after every paragraph like normal when I go off on one of these rants.

God (it seems) has grown weary of my tireless rants about the extent of censorship by "The Establishment" and has smited me through the grarled claws of his most efficient demon (Microsoft) and essentially given me the cue to "Shut the fuck up."

Point taken.
It's back to the workshop then. Ed and I are going to be recording soon and I just came up with another song. It's about a pathetic little dirtbag that thinks God keeps fucking with him.

Goodnight, All.

I've hammered my edge dull on the concrete pillars of mediocrity.

I'm not in the mood to discuss it though... come back later.
