Genesis - Robbery, a**ault and battery - 1994 digital remaster lyrics

The streets were deserted though the police were alerted They considered the phone call a hoax Furtively glancing, they jauntily prancing The youth caught the guards unaware Slipping between them, he ought to have seen the The eyes and their owner so near With torch shining bright he strode on in the night Till he came to the room with the safe "Hello son, I hope you're having fun" "You've got it wrong, sir, I'm only the cleaner" With that he fired, the other saying as he died "You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever, forever Robbery, a**ault and battery The felon and his felony Robbery, a**ault and battery The felon and his felony He picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers He pushed them, well, down in his sack But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded But he had some more tricks up his sleeve "Come outside with your hands held high" "You'll not get me alive, sir, I promise you that, sir" With that he fired, the other saying as he died "You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever, forever Robbery, a**ault and battery The felon and his felony Robbery, a**ault and battery The felon and his felony "He's leaving via the roof, the ba*tard's got away God always fights on the side of the bad man Bad man, bad man, bad man" I've got clean away but I'll be back some day Just the combination will have changed Some day they'll catch me, to a chain they'll attach me Until that day I'll side the old crime wave If they try to hold me for trial I'll stay out of jail by paying my bail And after I'll go to the court of appeal saying "You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever, forever Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song Done me wrong, same old song
