Lyrics:The Heist

by Rustic Overtones

I walked in the bank, the black leather bag Tucked tight beneath my arm When I pulled that .45 I looked into the bankers eyes "Don't you dare pull that alarm" I screamed "hit the floor" A woman screamed "please, help me lord" And I thought about you dear If you knew I lost my job, and gambled what we've saved and lost Would you understand all of my fears? For once in my life, Can I do this one thing right? Felt the pressure tight A weakened man, a weekend heist A Saturday I'd not forget Uncle Sam this money jam you put me in Took a human life to pay the debt I didn't hear the guards outside, I heard a scream I turned surprised, Felt the smoking pistol in my grip The gun went off into the soft yellow tie That hung beside the bankers heart Inside the bankers chest Lived such a short life, I hope he'll be all right For once in my life, I feel so damn alive!
