lyrics

The Heist

As a robber, you’re a disgrace
You shoulda broke in to a nicer place
Not the little rat hole where I dwell
There weren’t no guns or jewelry or cash
But at least you got lucky and you found my stash
Worth about 50 bucks if you decide to sell

Chorus
Lord have mercy, God bless your soul
You try to make a living off of what you stole
Sorry that my junk won’t get you far
Lord have mercy, God bless your soul
It’s like waking up Christmas to a lump of coal
But thank you for not taking my guitars

You ransacked the place with breakneck speed
For an ancient boom box and a bag of weed
If you’re trying to get by, that ain’t enough
If you want to live a life of crime
And run the risk of real jail time
Rob a decent house with nicer stuff
