While members lived modest lives, over a period of almost two decades they sent millions of dollars acquired in spectacular heists to Third World liberation movements footage: The Fallout / This Ain’t Hollywood / Hamilton / March 24, 2019 / Stronger Than Ever Videos

Lyrics
That’s me in the dead of night
With a rusty hairpin and an old flashlight
Walking in through your front door
I’m looking for the country’s money
The tallest fences I have scaled
In and out you know I never fail
Sitting in your backyard in Rosedale
I’m looking for the country’s money
I’m a modern day robin hood
Doing brave deeds for the common good
In our finest neighbourhoods
I’m fighting the worst pollution
Uneven power distribution
And I’ve got my own solution for it
Walking down the Bridal Path
Looking for that secret stash
Leaving with sacks full of cash
I’m looking for the country’s money
Searching for that golden pot
Of piles of money that’s been left to rot
Sometimes you’re home, sometimes you’re not
When I’m looking for the country’s money
And I’m not going to stop
I’m reaching for the top
And I’m not going to stop
This song was first published in 2005 in the album: What Is Past Is Prologue (2005 / Longshot Music) and rereleased in 2018 (by Red Menace Records / Rebel Time). Their firstalbum was called “Turning Revolution Into Money” (2004 / Longshot Music)
