My daddy was a bankrobber
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Some is rich and some is poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
The old man spoke up in a bar
Said, ‽I've never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prisonâ€
‽Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
What do you think they'd wanna say to us
While we were being clever?â€
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Some is rich and some is poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
