The Hives - Stick Up Lyrics

A finger squeezing on a trigger
You're standing on the barrel of a gun
Yeah, that slippery slope is all for money
You keep sliding back no matter how you run
And they laugh so hard back at the hideout
While you try to understand their game
You learn only to discover
That old bumper sticker truth still reads the same

And they say that life's for living
But life as we know it, it's a stick up (yeah), a stick up

A shimmering hell or slice of heaven
When thieves are first to attend
Once you're down then you find out
Blame yourself, this thing's got a shitty end

They say that life's for living
But life as we know it, it's a stick up (yeah), a stick up
They say that life's for living
But life as we know it ain't nothing but a stick up (yeah), yeah, a stick up, woo

And they say that life's for living
But life as we know it, it's a stick up, yeah, a stick up
And they say that life's for living
But life as we know it ain't nothing but a
It ain't nothing but a, stick up (yeah), stick up
Stick up (yeah), stick up
Stick up, stick up
Stick up, stick up (yeah), stick up
