You two are voting the right way for the wrong reasons.

Quite apart from what the song's actually about ("a lifetime serving one machine is ten times worse than prison"), it's absolutely possible to rob a bank with out hurting anyone.

I loved the idea when I was 12. I even cried a little when Robin Hood died and shot that arrow out of the window.

Freedom from an inequitable, inescapable system doesn't need to be romanticised.

It's inherently romantic, and what's more, banks will not be harmed so who cares.

Yeah. I don't give a shit if a bank gets a taste of its own medicine. But let's not lose sight of the fact that the song has a good time with cowboy archetypes in service to an anti-wage slave message.

I have a feeling I would have like Bankrobber more if they'd kept the original arrangement. I loved the bits where the drums went double time, it gave the song some variation that it needs. I wish they'd recorded it in that form too.

I'd love to have the original ska version as well as the dubbed out one we got.

I'm imagining it with a Rudie Can't Fail-style arrangement and production.
