Yorkshire Bank

I'm on my way to rob the Yorkshire Bank

'Cause I am so tired of begging on my knees

So I only hope that she will understand

I'm doing this so we can have the holiday we planned

But still the taxman chases me to my door

When will he understand that I've got nothing more?

How could you forgive a man a life of crime

Just to keep his kids out the squalor and the grime? But

Who are these thieves and robbers? I know not I

Who are these thieves and robbers, sent to bleed us dry?

Battered down my shame, I've come work

The council take my wages and refuse to let me go

Oh they're taking so much more than I can give

And do they really think this is how a man should live? But

Who are these thieves and robbers? I know not I

Who are these thieves and robbers, sent to bleed me dry?

Well I refuse to spend my days

Just to working off a debt til I've got nothing left

I refuse to spend my days

Just to pay enough of debt 'til the day I forget, oh, why

And now I know that there's no easy way

To let down your lover when you can't afford to pay

Oh it makes me feel like I'm a lesser man

When I'm working nine to five and I've tried all I can, but

Who are these thieves and robbers? I know not I

Who are these thieves and robbers, sent to bleed me dry?

Well I refuse to work my days

Just to pay enough of debt 'til I've got nothing left, oh

I refuse to spend my days

Just to working off a debt 'til the day I forget, oh, why

Better get myself back to work

Better get myself back to work

Better get myself back to work

Better get myself back to work
