44 Minutes Lyrics by Megadeth

Endgame

2009

[Intro]
"73-43 requesting assistance, we have 2-11 in progress at the Bank of America, we have shots fired"
"One or two officers need help, B of A"
"Suspects are leaving the bank, do not approach the bank"
"Shots are being fired from AK-47, there is an officer down"
"We are all pinned down by automatic gunfire"
[Verse 1]
It was a cool winter's morning
Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
The armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming
So instead, they went for the bank
The fateful duo that sat in the getaway car
Heavily sedated with thousands of rounds
Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
The bowls of wrath poured out on the ground
[Chorus]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 Minutes of target practice
All Hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight
With a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast
[Verse 2]
This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it would happen, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
Calling their firepower an unneeded expense
The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped
Standard police issue guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived and settled the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15
[Chorus]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 Minutes of target practice
All Hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight
With a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 Minutes of target practice
All Hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight
With a pocketknife
Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
And brought down the beast
