Bank Job Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies Are Me - Barenaked Ladies

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 overrehearsed 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 

And 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 laneway 

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 

But 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 

Photos 

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
