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
