SHAZAMS
His driver's license said James, he went by Jim A gangster wannabe, yeah, baby, that was him He stole his uncle's .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 A freshly stolen Mustang small block 302 Drove past the bank a dozen times this afternoon The only parking spot was half a block away Gave us time to practice just exactly what to say 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) (Get 'em, get 'em up) 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 across the street We dropped our guns and tried to run and there went all our dreams of 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 wanted easy street and now we'll never know Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain't coming 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
