Bank Job |
| It was an upset in two minutes flat |
| We were back on the freeway, foot to the mat |
| I can’t understand it; |
| we had it down pat |
| It’s very upsetting, could we leave it at that? |
| We all had positions; |
| we each had a role |
| We’d over-rehearsed it; |
| we had full control |
| They can’t teach you acting, it’s there in your soul |
| It’s the same with a bank job, and each thing we stole |
| So I don’t need attitude |
| Cause you knew just what to do |
| We all did our best now |
| We all need to rest now |
| Leave me alone |
| Wait by the phone |
| I was the driver; |
| you ran the show |
| You had the last word, the go or no go |
| I knew every laneway in Ontario |
| But it’s not what you’re sure of, it’s what you don’t know |
| It should have been filled with the usual ones |
| Throwing their cash into mutual funds |
| We all had our ski masks and sawed-off shotguns |
| But how do you plan for a bank full of nuns? |
| Well, I guess we panicked — we all have taboos |
| And they were like zebras; |
| they had us confused |
| We should be in condos with oceanfront views |
| Instead we’re most-wanted on the six o’clock news |
| Inside the police car you tried to explain |
| Your crisis of conscience; |
| the voice in your brain |
| And now that the whole thing has gone down the drain |
| I think we all know who should shoulder the blame |
| Cause you made a choice there, almost sublime |
| I’m all for compassion, just not on my dime |
| You looked like an amateur, and that’s the real crime |
| So I’ll take a walk now, and you do the time |
| We all did our best now |
| We all need to rest now |
| Leave me alone |
| We all did our best now |
| We all need to rest now |
| Leave me alone |
| Leave me alone |
