The Story Of `53 Lyrics

The Story Of `53 lyrics





Do you know me? I was on TV in 1963 for armed robbery. Here's my story.



I didn't even keep the money. It's my time, my time was standing still

This deadbeat job's so stagnant. And I'm alive, still got my will

To commit crime, go down in time

And it's one last chance for glory and I've already done it in my mind



[Chorus]

We were desperate for change, to live our own way

If nothing has changed, I've got this story

I still work 9 to 5, still doing my time

If nothing has changed, I've got this story



It went down on a Tuesday, of that morning, that morning it all came down

Ski masks, sawed off shotguns

There were people, they were hitting the ground,

And no casualties, just adrenaline, it's the perfect crime in twenty 

And I, I was out, before you clued in



[Chorus]



It's one last chance for glory, one last chance for me



[Chorus]
