lyrics

Stick em up.
Get down on the floor, put your hands where I can see them
Step away from the counter and don’t try and be a hero
Are you the manager? Get down on your knees
I’m not gonna hurt you, just give me the fucking keys

What d’ya mean?
All the money’s gone, how can that be?
I’ll put a hole in your fucking head if you are lying to me
The cops are outside, how did they get here so quick?
Which one of you fucking cunts tripped the fucking switch?

Hold your fire
I’m coming outside, I’m putting down the gun
Got a man in here who needs medical attention
It’s nothing serious, it’s just a minor asthma attack
I know you’re dying to do me down just like at Attica

Sorry Sal
Didn’t mean for you to get mixed in this
I’ll take the rap for you if you wanna split.
I know it’s hard to believe but I did it all for love
To pay for the operation, I didn’t have enough

Listen up
Don’t try pulling anything and you will be ok
No one is gonna get hurt if you do as I say
Monday was long, but Tuesday seemed to last all day.
Yesterday was tough, but today won’t seem to go away.

These dog days
The limo pulls away from the Chase Manhattan bank
I have to say that this hasn’t gone down as planned.
Open up the door and then bang bang bang bang bang
The shots ring out in the airport bang bang bang
The echoes fade away and the silence descends on me
And off in the distance the sirens are starting to scream
I slip away hanging out of the limousine
The boys in the bank will be stars on the silver screen
There’s one in the grave, one in the penitentiary
The boys in the bank will be loved on the silver screen
There’s one in the grave, one in the penitentiary
