Get ‘Em Up - Nickelback

His drivers licence said James,

he went by Jim

A gangster wanna be

and baby that was him

He stole his uncles 44 last friday night.

Said if I wanted in we'd have to plan

this thing just right

We'll need the gloves We'll need the bags,

a couple masks

We'll need to steal a car

with windows tinted black

We picked the nearest bank on main

and 17th

We wrote down every line

from every movie that we'd seen.

Screamin'

This is a robbery now get down

on the floor

We're here for all the shit

that you don't need no more. Yeah

We want your cash open the safe

get off your phone.

Don't be a hero

and you might just make it home.

Get 'em up

and get down

Reach for the sky

then go ahead

and kiss the ground

Get 'em up

and get down

Reach for the sky

then go ahead

and kiss the ground

Get 'em up

Get 'em, get 'em up

MMMM.

The fresh restored red mustang small block 302

drove past the bank a dozen times

this afternoon

The only parking spot was half a block away

it gave us time to practice just exactly

what to say

Screamin'

The only thing I wish

that one of us had known

That it was sunday

and the god damn bank was closed

Too bad we didn't see

the cops accross the street

We dropped our guns

and tried to run and there went all our dreams

Screamin'

and tell her I ain't coming home
