Chorus:
G        G     Cadd9   G
My daddy was a bank robber

G        G     Cadd9   G
Some is rich, and some is poor

That's the way the world is
G        G     Cadd9   G
But I don't believe in lyin' back

Sayin' how bad your luck is
G        G     Cadd9   G
So we came to jazz it up
G        G     Cadd9   G
We never loved a shovel
G        G     Cadd9   G
Break your back to earn our pay
Cadd9            D      G      G
An' don't forget to grovel

Verse:
G        G     Cadd9   G
The old man spoke up in a bar
G        G     Cadd9   G
Said "I never been in prison
G        G     Cadd9   G
A lifetime serving one machine
Cadd9            D      G      G
Is ten times worse than prison"
G        G     Cadd9   G
Imagine if all the boys in jail
G        G     Cadd9   G
Could get out now together
G        G     Cadd9   G
Whadd'ya think they'd want to say to us?
Cadd9            D      G      G
While we was bein' clever
G        G     Cadd9   G
Someday you'll meet your rockin' chair
G        G     Cadd9   G
'Cause that's where we're spinnin'
G        G     Cadd9   G
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
Cadd9            D      G      G
When it's grey and thinning

I can find that hole in the wall
Cadd9            D      G      G
And I know that they never will
