lyrics

I'm on the rob (she's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from her job)
If you make minimum wage
Steal from your job to compensate

I'm on the rob (he's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from his job)
If you make minimum wage
Take a 20-minute shit every day

It's morally and ethically okay to steal from Tesco's
Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and Waitrose
Not even just if you need to survive
If you're starving, no one expects you to die
I mean, you absolutely should steal as much as you can
Pet food, Blu-rays, and flowers for your nan
'Cause big companies are harmed by stealing
'Cause even if they're insured; it raises their premiums

Which is cool and fine, and actually what I wanted
Doing harm to monolithic corporations is awesome
'Cause when you add up the 8 billion in overtime violations
And the other 4 billion in break time violations
And the other 20 billion in minimum wage violations
Then the fucking bread and hummus that I put in my bag is fucking whatever

I'm on the rob (she's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from her job)
If you make minimum wage
Steal from your job to compensate

I'm on the rob (he's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from his job)
If you make minimum wage
Take a 20-minute shit every day

Robbing, Robbing, Robbing, Robbing, Robin, Robin Hood
If Robin Hood was alive then Robin Hood would
Steal from conglomerates, give the products to
Employees or the owners of some little shops
Or maybe go and learn violin and start a band
With Little John and the rest of his merry men
The most important thing to understand
Is that stealing's only bad when it's from the little man
'Cause all of these companies have stolen land already
'Cause property is theft and so's wage labour
No one should have to make someone else money
For a roof over their head and food in their belly
They steal your time, they steal your pride
They steal your time, they steal your pride
They steal your life and the lives of your neighbours,
So the hummus in your pocket isn't stolen
It's just taken back
So take it back Jamie

Posers in power
Lost up their towers
Don't forget you're still getting paid by the hour
Posers in power
Lost up their towers
Don't forget you're still getting paid by the hour

I'm on the rob (she's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from her job)
If you make minimum wage
Steal from your job to compensate

I'm on the rob (he's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from his job)
If you make minimum wage
Take a 20-minute shit every day

I'm on the rob (she's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from her job)
If you make minimum wage
Steal from your job to compensate

I'm on the rob (he's on the rob)
Stealing from my job (stealing from his job)
If you make minimum wage
Take a 20-minute shit every day
