Rustic Overtones Lyrics - The Heist:
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 weakend man, a weakened 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!
