Robin Hood (Lyrics)

1st Verse

He robbed the rich and gave to the poor
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
He knew exactly what life was for.
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
Then we sold him off to Hollywood
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
Whatever happened to Robin Hood?

2nd Verse

I see the Sherrif of Nottingham;
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
the ruling classes don’t give a damn
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
the rich get richer, that’s understood.
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
but I’m still looking for Robin Hood.

Chorus:

It’s not hard to believe he was real;
just someone who felt how we all feel
and I’m sure that his symbol survives
‘cause the dream of freedom’s still alive.

3rd Verse

We say we’d do something if we could;
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
We know that deep down inside we’re good
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
but we’re such cowards we never would
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
try and be someone like Robin Hood.

4th Verse

So we put up with the money machine
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
though the rich get evermore obscene
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
charities keeping our conscience clean.
(Robin Hood, Robin Hood)
But we’d all look better in Lincoln Green

Chorus:

It’s not hard to believe he was real;
just someone who felt how we all feel
and I’m sure that his symbol survives
‘cause the dream of freedom’s still alive.
