Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Went Numb

And the story goes like this: everything went numb for the money and the guns and everytime he'd think it out: "there's nothing to worry about get in the van, don't deviate from the plan if everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man" so it begins, everybody walks in could this be the way or the day that the underdog wins? i think not, so i bet on the feds because the black hat men never win in the end ski mask (check) sawed off (check) guilty conscience, fear of death (check check check) everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought was going to be another means to the end the silence the sirens it all went down like his nightmare the night before i don't want to hear i don't want to be near i do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean the story doesn't end here don't fear for our hero ain't near the end my friend let's take it back to how it all began: with a proposition and proposition starts with a capital p "or at least for me" is what he said to himself but himself ain't a lot when he's got nothing left of what was once a man, loved and loving he took that trip that turns something to nothing right and wrong there's not a lot a difference when you're singing that poor man's song and that song it goes just a little like this: na na na... ski mask (check) sawed off (check) guilty conscience, fear of death (check check check) everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought was going to be another means to the end the silence the sirens it all went down like his nightmare the night before i don't want to hear i don't want to be near i do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean
