Gangster

Phobiac - 3-29-2008 at 11:09 AM

Ima Robot: Gangster
Release Date: April 15th, 2008
Label:
Album:
Song Length: 4:20

I'm sure the guys meant for this song to be 4 minutes and 20 seconds long; gangster style and all! Too funny.

---------------------

Check
Well people, most are poor
There aint nothing that they can do
The just try to endure
They want money and fame
That they can't afford
So I'm gonna give them everything that they want and more, yeah
I'll be the zoot suit
I'll be a zoot suit

I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore
I got anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Like a gangster
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster
Like a gangster
I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore
I got anger
Feel like knocking down your doors
Like a gangster
Steal from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster
Like a gangster

I was born really well off
I didn't know it at the time
I had time to pursue my artistic interests
And in time, yes, there was some interest
Got my foot in the door
I took a look around
I didn't like what I had found
All these people so greedy
Well there's people so needy
I'm gonna get at their cheddar
And spread it around, believing
I'll be the zoot suit
I'll be a zoot suit

I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore
I got anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Like a gangster
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster
Like a gangster
I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore
I got anger
Feel like knocking down your doors
Like a gangster
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster
Like a gangster

Oh yeah
Oh yeah, wahhhwahhhh
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore
I got anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Like a gangster (Banker?)
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster
Like a gangster

Yeah
Call it a comeback
Like a gangster
Call it a comeback
Like a gangster
Call it a comeback
Like a gangster

ha ha ha ha ha ha

what do you mean?

Sarbear - 3-31-2008 at 01:37 PM

Because in my mind I keep hyping this new album up because Ive been waiting for some time. I hope that I dont expect way to much out of it and then become disappointed. (which is hard to do with Ima Robot) but still...

idreamptofUmbrella - 3-31-2008 at 05:21 PM

i think the best advice is keep an open mind. ima robot is a diverse band and you can never know what to expect. always a surprise, that's why i love them.

SKG - 3-31-2008 at 05:44 PM

i think the album will be great. cept the bob dylan part is bugging me. i only like about 10 of his songs and in my opinion, he can't sing for crap i saw the Concert For Bangledesh and hated the part where he went on. his lyrics are amazing but i don't like his voice that much.

neckbeard - 3-31-2008 at 06:02 PM

bob's voice is amazing!

corkey16 - 4-1-2008 at 02:03 PM

Lay Lady Lay.... Lay across my big brass bed!!! :P I love Bob, and I would have laid across his big brass bed back then!!! :D

IMAKFRIED - 4-1-2008 at 08:19 PM

I WANT THE SONGGGG!!!!!! SEND IT TO ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poobs - 4-1-2008 at 09:24 PM

Not saying that I have it, but if I did and sent it to you, the powers that be would have to kill you..Not me because I'm an old fart and have been around these parts for a loooong time..So you see, I'm just trying to protect you..

Sarbear - 4-2-2008 at 03:08 AM

*Hugs Poobs* you are the great wise one that we youngsters look up to for love and wisdom because you've been here some time. Look at your registered date. September 7th, 2002.

poobs - 4-2-2008 at 05:52 AM

Isn't it crazy how long it has been. Ahh the days of all those Spaceland, Viper Room shows...

Sarbear - 4-2-2008 at 02:39 PM

Yes, Sorry. I have no idea why I switched those two around. Ha. Some times I just need to think.

Gangster Lyrics from MySpace

Interesting, this showed up on MySpace today. Look's like .net was a little bit ahead of the curve. They do have a few corrections to the lyrics?

"Gangster" lyrics

We think these are the right words, so just go with it until Alex corrects us!

"Gangster"

The people are much too poor
There ain't nothing they can do
They just try to endure
They want money and things that they can't afford
So I'm going to give them everything as they want it more
I'll be the Zoot Suit
I'll be a Zoot Suit

I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore of that anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Like a gangster
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster, like a gangster
Who wants to be a gangster?
I can't take it anymore of that anger
Feel like knocking down your doors
Like a gangster
Steal from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster, like a gangster

I was born really well off
I didn't know it at the time
I had time to pursue my artistic interests
And in time
Yes there was some interest
Got my foot in the door
I took a look around
I didn't like what I had found
All these people so greedy
While these people so needy
I'm going to get at that cheddar
And spread it well, believe me
I'll be a Zoot Suit
I'll be a Zoot Suit

I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore of that anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Of the bankers
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster, like a gangster
I want to be a gangster
I can't take it anymore of that anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Like a gangster
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster, like a gangster

Do you know what I mean?
OK!

I wanna be a gangster
I can't take it anymore of that anger
Feel like knocking down the doors
Of the bankers
Take from rich, give to the poor
Like a gangster, like a gangster
Like a gangster, like a gangster

imarob2 - 4-14-2008 at 09:36 PM

Sarbear - 4-15-2008 at 02:35 AM

None taken. I think I love it as much as I do only because it's NEW the I'm sure if there are other new songs on the album that we have not heard yet I have a feeling that they will be better. (Kind of like Creeps Me Out.) Not a Bad song, but not their best either.

IMAKFRIED - 4-16-2008 at 05:58 AM

Best song in my opinion is still loaded love 1 & 2

JPG - 4-16-2008 at 11:57 AM

I've heard better

neckbeard - 4-16-2008 at 01:52 PM

it is good though.

but Tumbling Down is still the best.

SKG - 4-16-2008 at 03:55 PM

tumbling down is really good. one of my favorites. for a long time song #1 was my favorite.

Sarbear - 4-16-2008 at 03:56 PM

Winter Fling.

Phobiac - 4-16-2008 at 10:24 PM

Black Money is what turned me on to Ima Robot; I still think Black Money is by far the best Ima Robot song ever.

Phobiac.

Sarbear - 4-17-2008 at 03:10 AM

It is a good song.

Does that happen to be you screaming black money in the one live versions we have of a song...crap I cant think of the song off the top of my head.

Schwowsers - 4-18-2008 at 04:58 PM

What song is that? I can't remember, but I would imagine that it was our buddy Gavin.

SKG - 4-18-2008 at 05:48 PM

the live version of ancient slut

Sarbear - 4-19-2008 at 09:16 AM

Yes, Thank you. It's at the end not the beginning. I figured it out yesterday and didn't have access to a computer to post it.

Phobiac:

How many times have you see them in concert? Ima Robot or Edward Sharpe?
