The song starts with dialogue from the 1981 heist film Thief, where local crime boss crime boss Lou (Robert Prosky) threatens to prostitute Frank's girlfriend Jessie and kill his entire family if Frank doesn't work directly for him.

"Look. I said fuckin' look at 'im! Look at what happened to ya friend 'cause you gotta go against the way the things go down. You treat what I try to do for you like shit? You don't wanna work for me, what's wrong with you? And then, you carry a piece, in my house! You one of those burned-out demolished wackos in the joint? You're scary, because you don't give a fuck. But don't come onto me now with your jailhouse bullshit 'cause you are not that guy, dont'chu get it, you prick? You got a home, car, businesses, family, n' I own the paper on ya whole fuckin' life. I'll put ya cunt wife on the street to be fucked in the ass by niggers and Puerto Ricans. Ya kids mine because I bought 'it. You got 'im on loan, he is leased, you are renting him. I'll whack out ya whole family. People'll be eatin' 'em in their lunch tomorrow in their Wimpyburgers and not know it. You get paid what I say. You do what I say, I run you, there is no discussion. I want, you work, until you are burned-out, you are busted, or you're dead... you get it? You got responsibilities - tighten up n' do it. Clean this mess up, get 'im outta here. Back to work, Frank."

The film stars James Caan (The Godfather, Thief, The Gambler, Misery, A Bridge Too Far, Brian's Song, Rollerball) as professional safe-cracker Frank and Tuesday Weld (Once Upon a Time in America) as his girlfriend.


After Frank and his partner Barry pull off a complex safe-cracking job in L.A., and he is expecting the agreed-upon sum of $830,000 and about $4 million worth of diamonds. But when Frank returns from the gig, Leo tosses him an envelope consisting of less than $100,000 ($70,000 or $80,000). In addition, Leo sets up a Palm Beach score for Frank in 6 weeks without consulting him. An infuriated Frank flat out tells Leo that their deal is over, takes the thin package as he leaves and orders the rest of his money in 24 hours or "...you will wear your ass for a hat."

Leo's hatchet men beat and kidnap his partner Barry and are waiting in hiding for Frank. Unaware that Leo's henchmen are waiting for him, Frank is layed out with the butt of a firearm and Barry is shot and killed.

Frank wakes up with upper-level crime boss Leo staring down at him, surrounded by his flunkies. Leo coldly warns Frank that he, Jessie, their child (a baby Frank is able to acquire on the black market with a little help from Leo) , and everything he owns are Leo's property. He threatens to prostitute Jessie and "I'll whack out ya whole family. People'll be eatin' 'em in their lunch tomorrow in their Wimpyburgers and not know it!
