let’s play these games
the city wants us to play
jump through their hoops and say what they want us to say
let’s tell them the truth
but keep it real vague
don’t point any fingers or name any names

as the sirens fade away

the days seem long
as long as the road
that keeps rolling on, taking us further and further from home

as the sirens fade away
we don’t gotta move to make our getaway
as the sirens fade away

a smoking gun
a smash and grab
you’re squealing the tires and rip off the mask
a hole in the wall
a master plan
while you’re turning their heads
i’m taking the cash

as the sirens fade away
we don’t gotta move
no, we don’t gotta move
as the sirens fade away
we don’t gotta move to make our getaway
