The Heist - Lyrics by Rustic Overtones


Lyrics
I walked in the bank - the black leather bag tuckedtight beneath my arm.
When I pulled that .45I 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'vesaved and lostwould you understand all of my fears?
For once in my life can I do this one thing right?
Felt the pressure tighta weekend 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 pistolin my grip.
The gun went off into the soft yellow tiethat hung beside the banker's heartinside the banker's chest.
Lived such a short life, i hope he'll be alright.
For once in my life I feel so damned alive.
