[Nickelback - Get ’Em Up lyrics]
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
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
He went by Jim
A gangster wannabe, yeah baby, that was him
He stole his uncle’s 44 last Friday night
