Robin Hood In Reverse

Here is the church

There is the steeple

Open up the door

Corporations are people

Wait, what did he say?

What the f*ck did he say?



It couldn't last

They had to crash

Some party's are just made that way

But when the bell rings

The boys will sing

Swing low sweet precariat



Let's say we try to get this right

Said the plutocrat to Jesus Christ

And when the old fox fearing the worst

Made his entrance in a hearse

Then the nine in black robes all went berserk

Oh yeah

This is a tale of robin hood in reverse



Citizens united

I was excited

When the kids are united they can never be divided

But that was yesterday

There's a brand new sham today



Let's say we try to get this right

Said the plutocrat to Jesus Christ

And when the old fox fearing the worst

Made his entrance in a hearse

Then the nine in black robes all went berserk

Oh yeah

This is a tale of robin hood in reverse



Oh yeah

Let's say we try to get this right

Said the plutocrat to Jesus Christ

And when the old fox fearing the worst

Made his entrance in a hearse

Then the nine in black robes all went berserk

Oh yeah

This is a tale of robin hood in reverse

This is a tale of robin hood in reverse

Robin Hood In Reverse

Bad Religion's "Robin Hood In Reverse" stands as a defining track from their 1991 album, The Process of Belief.

The title references the classic outlaw legend, a common motif in the band's work that often critiques societal structures and authority. As a staple of their discography, the recording captures the raw energy and social commentary characteristic of early 90s hardcore punk. It remains a significant piece in the band's catalog, reflecting their enduring commitment to addressing contemporary issues through their music.
