Why People Rob Banks

For many reasons, but one in particular.

Why People Rob Banks

 

By Elton Camp

 

Let’s say that I’m a robber and knock over a store

I might get a hundred bucks, but not likely more

 

Or I decide that I will mug some guy on the street

I never know when it’s a gun-toter I might meet

 

If I should so foolishly stick up the big box store

Then I wouldn’t be able to shop there anymore

 

And then, if I break into some rich dude’s place

Both a burglar alarm and a bad dog I might face

 

If robbing a bank I’m not taking any personal cash

It’s not likely anyone angrily against me will dash

 

The bank doesn’t want to risk its customers shot

There’ll be little or no resistance as likely as not

 

But to know the main reason doesn’t take a whiz

People rob banks since that’s where the money is
