Last Call
The Expendables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw some riot police saw a robbery
We had a chance to catch the thieves
Gonna keep my mouth shut
They gave us two grand to close our eyes
So we hopped a few bars
Partied like rock stars
We even found a girls keys
This next round of crown is on me
No don't you worry now your gone in blurry
Don't you let me sit here alone
Cause we got a bunch of money yea
Don't want to spend it on my own
So let me buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say(x2)
A while im really buzzin now
Gonna get up on the floor
With this pussy galore
I got to find a girl who's just a whore
Gonna come to me tonight
Woah I hope she screams loud
So make an arrest
She's got a big chest
She's over there by the door
Just like a cop on a routine stop
Let your lights and let your sirens roar
So unbelievable now the achievable
Don't you let me sit here alone
Cause we got a bunch of money yea
I think we're gonna score
So let me buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say(x2)
Live it up live it up my friend yea(x4)
I hope we don't get into a fight
Were bein way to loud there telling us to calm down
Were bugging everyone around
Awoawoawoawoawoa yea we don't care
So rack one more up were not drunk enough
We aint gonna leave till we eve
The nights gonna end last calls at 2 am
And the bartender wants us to leave
So are you with me let's get shitty
Don't you let me sit here alone
Cause we got a bunch of money yea
Don't want to spend it on my own
So let my buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say
Don't let me buy you one more drink
What do you say what do you say
So let me buy you one last drink what do you say
The Expendables' song "Last Call" tells the story of a wild night of partying and mischief. The singer describes the various illicit activities he witnesses, such as police riots and robberies, but decides to keep quiet after being bribed with two thousand dollars. He and his friends proceed to hop from bar to bar and indulge in rock-star-like behavior, culminating in a search for a promiscuous woman who will scream loudly. Despite being told to calm down, the group continues to drink and have a good time until the bartender announces last call.
The lyrics of "Last Call" convey a sense of rebelliousness and disregard for authority. The singer seems to relish in the chaos and danger of the night, engaging in illegal activities and taunting those who try to stop him. At the same time, the song also hints at a sense of desperation and loneliness. The singer repeatedly asks for someone to join him for another drink, suggesting he may be using alcohol to cope with personal problems or a sense of isolation.

Visited a few different bars or clubs
Partied like rock stars
Drank and socialized heavily, living it up
We even found a girls keys
Discovered and possibly kept someone's lost keys
I roll in the night pass a krip for me to light
Rolling and smoking marijuana in the evening

Anticipating success in finding a partner for the night
Woah I hope she screams loud
Desiring a loud and passionate sexual encounter
So make an arrest
Suggesting a role play scenario with the woman
She's got a big chest
Commenting on the physical appearance of the woman
She's over there by the door
Pointing out the location of the woman
Just like a cop on a routine stop
Comparing the situation to a normal police interaction
Let your lights and let your sirens roar
Encouraging vocal and physical expression during sex
So unbelievable now the achievable
Feeling that anything is possible and attainable
I think we're gonna score
Believing success in finding a partner for the night
Live it up live it up my friend yea(x4)
Urging the friend to take advantage of the moment and enjoy themselves
I hope we don't get into a fight
Worried about the possibility of conflict
Were bein way to loud there telling us to calm down
Being told to behave due to excessive noise
Were bugging everyone around
Acknowledging the negative effect of their behavior on others
Awoawoawoawoawoa yea we don't care
Ignoring the complaints and continuing to party
So rack one more up were not drunk enough
Ordering another drink because they feel they are not yet intoxicated enough
We aint gonna leave till we eve
Planning to stay and continue partying until the bar closes
The nights gonna end last calls at 2 am
Acknowledging that the night will come to an end soon
And the bartender wants us to leave
The bartender is signaling that it is time to go
So are you with me let's get shitty
Asking the friend to join in getting drunk
So let my buy you one more drink
Offering to purchase a final drink
What do you say what do you say
Asking for confirmation one last time
Don't let me buy you one more drink
Asking the friend to not let them spend money on another drink
So let me buy you one last drink what do you say
Final attempt to buy a drink for the friend before leaving
