The Bandit Lyrics

Well we've really done it now huh

I hope you've enjoyed tuning in all these years

We got one last song for you here at snoozy radio

To go with you on the long road ahead

If there's anyone out there who makes it off this doomed little rock

This one's for you

Here is: the bandit

I thought that money made me

I thought I'd set it right

I thought that money saved me

But it kept me up at night

My father was an evil man

So despite him I'd be just

But in the end its evident

I'm not so different than he was

If you leave the ground behind you son

Though sky can look so grand

Know the golden light can blind you

And you'll trip back down to land

And maybe you'll be better son

But we get what we deserve

Our roots are in the garden

You'll always miss the dirt

I was a bandit

A no good crook

And if you think twice take another good look

A grave full of lies and the fortune I took

Never looked back even if I should

You're a bandit

So run while you can

Eye on the prize

Gun in your hand

A glimmer in your eye like your old man

Never look back even if you can

You're a bandit

Run with abandon

You're a bandit

Run with abandon

You're a bandit

Run with abandon

You're a bandit

Run with abandon

We got brain

With got brawn

And a new gang don

The same old tune with a new twang on

The same old crew with a new M.O.

Makin for the stars with the motherlode

I'm the next

For success

I'm the new top brass

Same old cops on my tire tracks

The same gold trim on my fresh pressed suit

The closest I'll ever be to you

I'm a bandit

Run with abandon

I'm a bandit

Run with abandon

He was a bandit

He ran with abandon

I am a bandit too

Now I'm just like you

I'm a bandit
