Barenaked Ladies - Bank Job Lyrics

Send "Bank Job" ringtone to your cell

It was an upset

In two minutes flat

We're 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 lane way

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 in

To 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 6 o'clock news

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

And wait by the phone

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 look like an amateur

And that's the real crime

So I'll take a walk now

And you do the time

And 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

There's no need to phone

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
