"Stick Up" lyrics - THE HIVES

A finger squeezing on a trigger
You're staring down the barrel of a gun
Yeah, that slippery slope is awful muddy
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're let out only to discover
That old bumper sticker truth still reads the same

[Chorus:]
And they say that life's for living
But life as we know it
It's a stick up
Yeah, stick up

A shindig held on a slice of Heaven
Where thieves are first to attend
Once you're down, only then you find out
That even your selfie stick's got a shitty end

[Chorus:]
They say that life's for living
But life as we know it
It's a stick up
Yeah, a stick up

[Post-Chorus:]
They say that life's for living
But life as we know it ain't nothing but a stick up (Yeah)
Yeah, stick up, woo

[Chorus:]
And they say that life's for living
But life as we know it
It's a stick up
Yeah, stick up

[Outro:]
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
