Lyrics
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
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 laying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is
So he came to jazz it up
Never learned to shovel
Break your back to earn our pay
Don't forget to grovel
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to take your money
He's gone now
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
'Cause that's where we're spinning
There's no point to want to comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning
Oh
Hey, my daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
So he came to jazz it up
We never learned to shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
And don't forget to grovel, hey
Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away
My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Hey
Run, rabbit run
Brrrp, strike out boys, for the hills
I can find that hole in the wall
I know that they never will
Daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way - เพลง
The Clash had that magic touch to incorporate many styles of music with strong messages in the lyrics. Today's music is rubbish in comparison
Exactly
I feel so glad to have been in my youth when the clash were doing their thing.....even the cars in the video remind me if freer times....much freer....no CCTV, no automatic car checks.....
it was wooohooooooooooo.....and it was feckin ace
I'll always love them and I'm way to old.❤
Man I am 19 but the same
I was fortunate enough to see The Clash live, on more than one occasion in the 70's, & early 80's. They were so much more than Punks, which is what a lot of people assumed they were.
One of the most underrated bands that the UK has ever produced in my opinion, & Bankrobber is one of their smoothest tracks.
R.I.P. Joe.
Вау! Привет из Украины ☮️☮️☮️
yeah! saw them a few times back in the day. incredible
@@user-nl5ne9zb7x Greetings from Wales UK 💯🙏🏻🏴✌🏻
I've seen them more than once, too. The first one was in Milan, summer 1980, Sandinista tour, the last one at Fair Deal, Brixton, July 1982. An also after Mick Jones was sacked I saw them in Milan, but they weren't the Clash anymore IMO
Yeah, it's funny they were inspired by several different music styles and tried to culminate them all into one.
And they took it on to big audio dynamite where they really would put all sorts of music into one track with just combinations merge together
I met Joe in our village where he moved to, We became friends in our local pub and having the same interest in american cars and rockabilly music. just an everyday guy who kept a low key and always a joy to meet up and enjoy a pint and roll up. R.I.P Joe
The Clash so badly missed it hurts.
I'll never ever, as long as I live, experience such an amazing band - RIP Joe.
I am sorry you never saw them live.
I did. 5 times.
Yes, they were exactly what you think.
@@sammencia7945 - I did see them live, half a dozen times in London! Also saw Joe's last gig in London when Mick Jones joined them on stage.
@@Wilayaat
Excellent
I only have the video.
Must have been nuts to see Mick on stage.
@@sammencia7945 - I was right at the front of the stage by the left corner. When Mick came on for the encore I was close to tears.
@@Wilayaat Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah that is brilliant FANTASTIC 👌👍👍🤩
this an awesome fusion of reggae and punk rock
I'm hearing the reggae bit but not the punk.
@@blackmore4 you must be new here, Punk ain't just about fast tempo or rough noises.
It's The Clash..... the punk is inherent.
It's punk lyrics and reggae melody
@@blackmore4 it’s just...
*all of this*
This song makes me feel both rebellious and happy . Timeless classic !
Give that man a lozenge. Then a round of applause😢
The law is only an apparatus of control of the super rich, used to keep their boots pressed against our necks.
I'm proud to say I've lived a life like Joes dad, outside their domain, and resisting their bootstraps against my neck.
Fk em.
Live like you only get one shot at anything.
after 40 years that bass line, wow!
Bloody outstanding still. X👌👌👌👌🎸🎸
Can’t beat reggae bass
Why doesn't this have 500 mil views? Timeless, priceless song.
A lot of people don’t have good taste in music.
Because it's not pushed through Spitify or any other corporate bollocks medium.
That's not a typo I won't spell that dark rip off blood sucking organisation properly.
@@r6685 that is your opinion. This song sucks IMO.
@@jagsfanrick perchè chi commenta generalmante è un figlio del 1/5 del mondo con diritti e salario..
Because society is shit.
one of there best tracks ever. One of the greatest bands of all time.
Nice .... not sure if I agree that it is there best track ever but it is kool
Correction....... The greatest band of all time................. the only band that mattered
Without a doubt!
The only band that -still- matters.
Stay free is my favourite
Released 44 years ago and still sounds like it was yesterday. Iconic music legendary musicians. How lucky were we.
How lucky that we can watch this amazing video whenever we want!
2021 still lives in the hearts of so many endless song
Such a great song Pete
The clash&johny lydon i,m so thankfull to them and there were others to,brought me in contact with reggae&dub and let me see that what they said at school,at home etc was not true,for example black culture is so rich,the music is brilliant from calypso,hiphop to reggae,salsa,dub,zouk and so many other genres,literature,the food!!!!jamaican kitchen is even hotter than the girls(sorry ladies,excuse me but it,s true,isn,t lol)i ,m just happy that punk gave me the chance to discover what ,s going on in real life,goodthings&bad things,but never believe a politician,or the pope and so many other liars with money&egoism in their eyes&heart,i,m 58now,for some it,s old but i never get old when i listen to a naughty dub-Rhythm & Sound w/ Tikiman - What A Mistry please search and let it play,with loads a bass and i,m 100% sure you want more,i just want to say,i can,t understand why people,mostly they,re white,judging other humans only looking at their skin,background,culture etc,i,m trying to found a answer or understand why they do that,but it,s getting worse and i don,t give up to found the answer but it,s the most difficult thing i experienced in my life,love peace unity(it,s the beginning of everything)
@@patjedub music as no age limits no colour limits there’s a world of great music sometimes in our day we would buy a album for just one little heard song that for some reason never got airplay we all trust in music it’s a sanctuary from bad times and a joy in happy times
The clash were my first love of music in the 70s. They still rock today. Love you Joe. 😢
What an amazing song. Every time I listen to it a smile comes to my face and I look up to heaven and give Joe a thumbs up and a huge smile.
theace69
And Joe vomits upon reading your sentimental, maudlin slush.
♥️♥️♥️💋

Joe was open to everything, an amazing human...check yourself, love. No hate here.
Joe loved his fans, looked after them. He was a rare guy
R.I.P. Joe Strummer and Mikey Dread
did not know the man behind Roots and Culture collaborated with the Clash
Nicholas Whyte He's on One More Time/Dub from Sandanista & Rockers Galore UK Tour (b-side of Bankrobber).
This track is hot!! The best collaboration ever!!
❤
So is joe strummer the guys with the lisp which is singing in this song?
This song is so freaking good, a true gem
True! I love the sound, lyrics , Clash were on a totally different wave!
Paul Simonon has to be the coolest dude on earth in that video.
I AGREE, LOVED HIS VOICE AND HE IS AN ARTIST AS WELL!!
sorry realized i was shouting and didn't want to type the whole thing over again lol
He’s the coolest rudeboy even without the video👊
@@niklasanderberg9643 I hope you're talking about the Rastaman in this video.
By Any Means Necessary No i am talking about Paul but I know what u mean👊
@@byanymeansnecessary398 Does 'Paul Simonon' sound like a rasta name to you? Haha; ya goof.
"Go on John, jog it on."
"I can't Pete, the painting's got me. That's what art does to ya Pete, it gets you."
Rest easy Joe...never forgotten.
You will never ever get better than this
This man doesn't get enough credit, an absolute legend.
posh boys
My favorite Clash song. One of the best bands ever. Just watched The Rise and Fall of The Clash. It was awesome. Must see for any Clash fan. Mick is the man. R.I.P Joe.
middle class posh boys ?
My Daddy WAS a bank robber, but he never hurt nobody....Rip Dad...💜
Feel u
Saw The Clash at Wolves Civic as a 16 year old. Memorable gig, long live The Clash!
Can we take a moment to appreciate Paul's presence - the epitome of calmness and coolness and Joe's ardour and dance moves? You can't listen to this song without picturing them, can you?
Perfect video, terrific song and the coolest band on earth.
ace profile pic. great band.
Paul was the calm in the middle of the storm known as The Clash. Joe, Mick, and Topper as brilliant as they were must've been chaotic to work with.
chemicaro way cool band
The singer is doing bob marleys body movements
Great song
@@davidmcbride6911 was his dad a bank robber???
Thanks dad, i love this song.
you're welcome.
which bank did he rob?
all of um
He was like a school teacher bless him
Algunos son ricos, algunos son pobres. Así es la vida. Joe es una leyenda en la historia de la música moderna. Aguante The Clash.
now the banks are the robbers
brian rennie yes.everything is wrong!
not now, always.
Banks are the modern Money Changers. The Money Changers are the only thing that pissed Jesus off. He upturned the tables!

Synagogue of satan By Andrew Carrington Hitchcock buy this on amazon and the protocols of the elders of zion then the Quran read it and find out why its so hated by the money changers
These lyrics, and honestly, the way it was used in rocknrolla just amplified an already perfect song to majestic.
So long ago, now. Loved these guys when I was thirteen. Turned 57 today. RIP, strummer, and the Spirit of '76.
An iconic band that influence the British music scene for years, and this is by far the best version of Bank Robber.
I find it incredible to think that we lost Joe 20 years ago this year, I take time out every December to reflect on his music and it ht me quite hard when he died, I don't why, but I was shellshocked.
Listen to commandante Joe by atilla the stockbroker
I concur with each and every one of you !😎
middle class posh boys ?
Shame we can't have those days back. They were great.
Chester Fields just the half of it, Chet
So right mate ! The best days of our lives
The best

Still waiting for the sequel??
*slaps him
💥"That! Roman and Micky, is the famous Archie slap."
...lol..the paintin's got me pedro. Thats what it does, it gets ya.
Such passion in Strummers voice and performance. Great dubby style production also!
This song really showcases Joe's vocal chops. It's one of his best performances, fusing melody, sound effects, improvisational phrases and pure passion!
My father raised me on this. I love you pops.
You are one lucky lad, and a great comment. You make him proud in the ether!
Great, timeless record, and a brilliant memorable video. Thanks for uploading.
***** Ha.
considering he is in a record studio and not out performin live ,great recording
MrJohnny56789 you also see how much the song means to him and how much he can relate to it since his dad was a bank rob-....oh wait he was a diplomat....never mind...
Hey... If you're gonna make jokes about a dead man, go to his grave and say it
BluRayNation calm down dude....I like The Clash and I like this song but you gotta admit the tittle is a bit ironic
RocknRolla!!!
Johnny quid is a real RocknRolla
johnny...well he's what I call class
A true rocknrolla wants the lot.
yeah!
Ruikt Wolf with the coke a cola
The songwriting partnership of Strummer and Jones create such a classic like this. Love it to bits.
Classic Clash tune
Such a cool lyrics, I love *The Clash*! I love 70's England. Love the atmosphere, the people, everything, just everything!
Moozy Mathers Where you from?
Moozy Mathers Thats why I drive a 1972 British Ford
Love this era too.
Yy
+Moozy Mathers I was young but I remember it as a really good time. I grew up in London and enjoyed so much more freedom compared to today. No serious gangs or violent attacks and a more tolerant place to live.
Stella Yates I understand, today's society and the whole generation sucks. Everyone has its boring and same sort of personality. People were different back then. I didn't know much about 70's 80's. As I grew up in early 90's. But, I do know the feeling of the childhood times. Not as special as your times, but still. And I love London. One of my most favourite city ever.
The dread at the controls! Nice work Mikey dread… Monterey / Salinas always love you, here or gone
The clash always had meaning and great musicians.
I just love his voice so much on this song. Beautiful💗
Great bands are time travel machines
when this is used in the the guy ritchie film "Rock n Roller" ,to me is iconic, ,but love I ALL the Clash stuff, so I'm bias, 😋
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris.
He had so much passion in his music; love that, RIP Joe strummer
No music competition for the clash! They won! Punk, reggae, oi! Oi! Oi! UNITY!!!
growing up in the 70's, I was never really into the Clash, but as I grew older, I fell in love with their music, they were the most talented and underrated punk band ever, late 2015 and the music still hasn't dated, that is the sign of CLASSIC music
I wish I could go back and see the Clash live my favourite band
Me too I saw them twice how good is that
You and me are there now
@@SAHB That must have been unreal experience
It was but I saw them again 😃 some band they were so in tune but not always the same note off beat some times but they ment it
@@stephenbyrne2602 I'm going to pay you a compliment now I think you are alright there are so so many strange people over this TH-cam but I think you are okay ps tell me the bands or solo artists you have been to watch live and I will tell you mine and now don't be shy
So much more relevant now...best! Clash will forever!!!
Absolutely love this track. The Clash at their finest.
this song still make me cry...i never had the chance to meet Joe Strummer, but at least I can see him sing.
Greetings from a Serbian Bankrobber.✌
My 9 year old daughter sang this at her school talet show. The other kids were singing Twinkle Twinkle etc... Very proud Bank Robber...
cool
Sim's bass is wonderful.....
I played this to my daughter when she was two years old, she's three now and a clash convert:)
I was played this when I was young, now I'm a bankrobber... The circle of life.
I played this when I was younger. And i just watched a film about bank robbers. Amazing!
me me my bank played this to my father when he was 1 months old and now I'm a unicorn
Nick Gerz watch your mouth when you refer to my daughter
Superman Man okay superman man
Masterpiece!!! Could listen to this night and day!!!
Break your back to earn your pay and don’t forget to grovel
Such a gangsta tune.
I legitimately believe this is the best song ever made.
Couldn't agree more, my favourite single from any group or solo artist.
the best band ever pure magic .the only band that matters .
sometimes the UK does things right...the Clash were one of them...rip joe
manchesterblue2007 has
Your "NOT" wrong!
@Elementary Watson -uh , no. UK has some great bands - but to say "all the greatest bands" is just ridiculous.
He was a genius 🖤
I'm Irish, in my Irish eyes the UK did nothing right for our little island. But fuck me, music, they were the best.
the clash will never get old..... it is timeless
Thanks to Rocknroller this is one of my favourite songs ever 👌🏽
Agree, well said….The only band!!
Johnny quid brought me here

"My daddy was a tax dodger, but he never hurt nobody..." Cameron's favourite song.
+LULUBELLE III had exactly the same thought :)
+LULUBELLE III father dodges taxes, son desecrates pig corpses
Insert 'pig fucker'.....
lool
jajaja
In a better world Joe Strummer would have turned 70 this year.
The Clash transcended the punk movement. In hindsight, the moniker “the only band that matters” has some truth to it. One of the best bands in rock history!
Rest in Peace Joe Strummer 12-22-2002..
Well said. RIP Joe.
22-12-2002
Rest in Punk
I still remember that day, I came home from school and my dad told me the news.I cried like a baby, you would have thought I lost a family member..a couple days after my bday too..that was one shitty December.
Rest in power, Joe ❤️
@@X.ese_ So looking forward to performing at the Hall of Fame too, what a sad irony, some musicians have shitty attitudes about it even when they are being honoured.
I've been serious fan of The Clash for almost 20 years and I'd never heard this brilliant jam until a year ago. It's a definite staple in my constant rotation and always gives me a sense of happiness to whenever I hear it. Strummer, along with the remaining three were just the best. Clash had the. Chops to seriously play, style for miles , & really were the most important band in the world, for a good run. I miss strummer. He was a good man, and great musician. I'll never forget the day I learned of his passing away. A sad day indeed
Search for a track called commandante Joe by attila the stockbroker unless you already know it
Even back in ‘78 they had their face masks on. They are social distancing though! Awesome song. Reminds me of my childhood.
There is no need for a mask and social distancing
Scarlet why not?
Always loved the Clash Still do. I grew up on the Stones ( I’m 59) I read in an interview Joe said when he heard ‘Not Fade Away’ ( Stones version) he knew he wanted to be in a band. Also as a fan of both the Stones turned me on to Blues and the Clash onto Reggae. Stones were influenced by American blues and the Clash by Brixton Reggae what could be better.
Not many songs with so many different vibes in as this.....timeless piece
Mikey dread at the controls
Still, to this day....The Only Band That Matters.
the greatest band ever .. i still miss john he changed my life x
Rock'n'rolla
The Clash - The Only Band That Matters 🎸
Britain has such amazing musical talent for such a tiny island
Respect fae Glasgow.✌.The good days,and don't let anyone else tell you different.
One of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion
I don't believe in lying back and saying how bad your luck is.
Look at them 2 men in the video, aware of COVID19 back then, and getting ostracised for it, chased out of the bank, shocking that they have to carry weapons to defend themselves, God bless them 🙏
The clash were different clash they still are old punk's never die just keep the music clashin it's strummer time blues
My shit right here!
+Terry Hallahan It's dope.
a real Rock&Rolla!!
Absolutely the greatest tune ever feel the passion
Probably some of the best lyrics in one of the best songs along with one of the best videos from one of the best bands.
This is my favorite song thank you the clash
Man I would have loved to have met Joe. Really amazing artist and seemed like a good guy. Iconic voice too.
haunting song..
My father introduced me to Sandinista 8 years ago. Thanks dad.
don't hurt me Arch ! im only a little !
shuttze love that line, great film
"That's why your on the Gear Pete, the Gear is your surrogate father"
💥 "That! Roman and Micky, is the famous Archie slap"
Love the Clash. Love my late father. He was a real bankrobber during WW II. They took 46 million euro's from the Germans. Two weeks later they took it all back. Seven of the bankrobbers got killed of starvation in several camps. My dad survived. This song is for him. And those who got lost.
I don't believe you.
Bullshit, if you're going to lie at least make it believable. There was no such thing as a Euro in ww2. The Euro didn't come out until 1st January 1999 and if your father was in the war you must be about 70 so you would be old enough to remember before Euro's ,the fact you didn't shows that you must be young.
When telling lies do the research and it may be more believable
They didn't have Euros during WWII.
@@alastairgreen2077 I know, what an idiot, he tried to lie and made it so obvious he was lying cause the Euro didn't come out till 54 years after the war ended
Bollox
This man is a great regret at the age of 52 I never got to say thank you for the music 🙏 RIP Joe that said the band every single one were the greatest!
2021 and this song still a masterpiece
Mr Stummer was a fucking Legend end of.🏁
The British punk rock scene is still alive in 2017!! Bands such as HeadAche are keeping the spirit of The Clash alive. Search up 'Trepidation' by HeadAche.. you won't regret it!!
My dad loved this song 🏴☠️🇸🇪
Joe Strummer and The Clash......The only band that mattered !
A lifetime serving one machine is ten times worse than prison.
