Lyrics:

[English]

[Español]

His driver's license said James, he went by Jim

Su licencia de conducir decía James, él usaba Jim

A gangster wannabe, yeah, baby, that was him

Un wannabe gangster, sí, nena, ese era él

He stole his uncle's .44 last Friday night

Robó la .44 de su tío el viernes por la noche

Said if I wanted in, we'd have to plan this thing just right

Dijo que si quería entrar, tendríamos que planear esto bien

We'll need the gloves, we'll need the bags, a couple masks

Necesitaremos guantes, bolsas, un par de máscaras

We'll need to steal a car with windows tinted black

Tendremos que robar un coche con cristales tintados de negro

We picked the nearest bank on Main and 17th

Elegimos el banco más cercano en Main y 17th

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

Escribimos cada línea de cada película que habíamos visto

Screamin'-

Gritando-

"This is a robbery, now get down on the floor

"Esto es un robo, ahora acuéstate en el suelo

We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more (yeah)

Queremos todo lo que ya no necesitas (sí)

We want your cash, open the safe, get off your phone

Queremos tu dinero, abre la caja fuerte, apaga tu móvil

Don't be a hero, and you might just make it home"

No seas un héroe, y quizás llegues a casa vivo"

Get 'em up

¡Levántalos!

And get down

Y agáchate

Reach for the sky

Alcanza el cielo

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Luego besa el suelo

Get 'em up

¡Levántalos!

And get down

Y agáchate

Reach for the sky

Alcanza el cielo

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Luego besa el suelo

Get 'em up

¡Levántalos!

Get 'em, get 'em up

Llévalos, levántalos

A freshly stolen Mustang small block 302

Un Mustang pequeño, bloque 302, robado recientemente

Drove past the bank a dozen times this afternoon

Drove past the bank a dozen times this afternoon

The only parking spot was half a block away

The only parking spot was half a block away

Gave us time to practice just exactly what to say

Gave us time to practice just exactly what to say

Screamin'-

Gritando-

"This is a robbery now, get down on the floor

"Esto es un robo, ahora acuéstate en el suelo

We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more (yeah)

Queremos todo lo que ya no necesitas (sí)

We want your cash, open the safe, get off your phone

We want your cash, open the safe, get off your phone

Don't be a hero, and you might just make it home"

Don't be a hero, and you might just make it home"

Get 'em up

¡Levántalos!

And get down

Y agáchate

Reach for the sky

Alcanza el cielo

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Luego besa el suelo

Get 'em up

¡Levántalos!

And get down

Y agáchate

Reach for the sky

Alcanza el cielo

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Luego besa el suelo

Get 'em up

¡Levántalos!

(Get 'em, get 'em up)

(Llévalos, llévalos)

(Get 'em, get 'em up)

(Llévalos, llévalos)

The only thing I wish that one of us had known

The only thing I wish that one of us had known

That it was Sunday and the god-damn bank was closed

That it was Sunday and the god-damn bank was closed

Too bad we didn't see the cops across the street

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 of screamin'-

We dropped our guns and tried to run and there went all our dreams of screamin'-

"This is a robbery, now get down on the floor

"Esto es un robo, ahora acuéstate en el suelo

We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more (yeah)

We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more (yeah)

We wanted easy street and now we'll never know

We wanted easy street and now we'll never know

Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain't coming home

Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain't coming home

Get 'em up

Get 'em up

And get down

And get down

Reach for the sky

Reach for the sky

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Get 'em up

Get 'em up

And get down

And get down

Reach for the sky

Reach for the sky

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Get 'em up

Get 'em up
