It was an upset in two minutes flat  
 
We were 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 over-rehearsed 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  
 
Chorus: 
		C   D	G 
So I don't need attitude  
		     C	  D  G 
Cause you knew just what to do  
		C 
We all did our best now  
		G 
We all need to rest now  
	   A7 
Leave me alone  
	     D 
Wait by the phone  
 
	     G			C 
I was the driver; you ran the show  
	     G			C 
You had the last word, the go or no go  
	     G 
I knew every laneway in Ontario  
			  G				C 
But it's not what you're sure of, it's what you don't know  
 
 
 
 
 
 
		      G			    C 
It should have been filled with the usual ones  
		G		  C 
Throwing their cash into mutual funds  
		G			    C 
We all had our ski masks and sawed-off shotguns  
		G			C 
But how do you plan for a bank full of nuns?  
		  G			    C 
Well, I guess we panicked - we all have taboos  
		    G			    C 
And they were like zebras; they had us confused  
		  G			   C 
We should be in condos with oceanfront views  
		    G				C 
Instead we're most-wanted on the six o'clock news  
 
Chorus 
 
|G C| |G C| |G C| |G C| 
 
	     G			     C		 
Inside the police car you tried to explain  
		G				C 
your crisis of conscience; the voice in your brain  
		  G				C 
And now that the whole thing has gone down the drain  
		G				C 
I think we all know who should shoulder the blame  
		  G			C 
Cause you made a choice there, almost sublime  
		G			C 
I'm all for compassion, just not on my dime  
		    G				   C 
You looked like an amateur, and that's the real crime  
		G			  C 
So I'll take a walk now, and you do the time  
 
Chorus 
 
		C		G 
We all did our best now  
		C		G 
We all need to rest now  
	  C			G 
Leave me alone  
		C		G 
We all did our best now  
		C		G 
We all need to rest now  
	  C			G 
Leave me alone  
	  C			G		C 
Leave me alone
