Get ‘Em Up - Nickelback

His drivers license said James, he went by Jim

A gangster wannabe, and 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

He picked the nearest bank on Main and 17th

We wrote down every line from every movie that we've seen

Screaming

This is a robbery, now get down on the floor

We're here for all this 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

The 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

Screaming

This is a robbery, now get down on the floor

We're here for all this 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

The only thing I wish that one of us had known

That it was Sunday and the goddamn 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

Screaming

This is a robbery, now get down on the floor

We're here for all this 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.
