lyrics

Living in the city gotta pay just the breathe
And you can't ever leave until your number is up
Once I had a job working for the man
But now I'm collecting cans to put a meal in my hands

Let's rob this town together
Stick it to the fat cats on the hill
Let these ties never sever
Not until we empty this last till

Living on Ranch Beans and Spam
Anything in a tin, even pumpkins and pears
Steady but slow down this old dirt road
To the barley sugar columns where them greenbacks are stowed

Let's rob this town together
Stick it to 'em right where it hits home
We're all in this together
But, good Lord, don't we die alone?
Let's rob this town together
Read a letter and what now did it say?
Why do we live for tomorrow
When we could be living for today?
