The Heist

By Rustic Overtones

I walked in the bank - the black leather bag tucked

Tight beneath my arm

When I pulled that .45

I looked into the bankers eyes

"Don't you dare pull that alarm"

I screamed hit the floor"

A woman screamed "please, help me lord"

And I thought about you dear

If you knew I lost my job, and gambled what we've

Saved and lost

Would you understand all of my fears?

For once in my life can I do this one thing right?

Felt the pressure tight

A weekend man, a weekend heist

A Saturday I'd not forget

Uncle Sam this money jam you put me in

Took a human life to pay the debt

I didn't hear the guards outside, I heard a scream

I turned surprised, felt the smoking pistol

In my grip

The gun went off into the soft yellow tie

That hung beside the banker's heart

Inside the banker's chest

Lived such a short life, i hope he'll be alright

For once in my life I feel so damned alive
