Bank Job

It was an upset
In two minutes flat
We're back on the freeway
Foot to the matI 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 controlThey can't teach you acting
It's there in your soul
It's the same with a bank job
And each thing we stoleSo 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 phoneI 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 knowIt should have been filled with
The usual ones
Throwing their cash in
To Mutual FundsWe 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 confusedWe should be in condos
With oceanfront views
Instead we're most wanted
On the 6 o'clock newsSo, 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 phoneInside the police car
You tried to explain
Your crisis of conscience
The voice in your brainAnd 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 dimeYou look like an amateur
And that's the real crime
So I'll take a walk now
And you do the timeAnd 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 phoneWe 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
