Lyrics

[00:10.81] Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town
[00:17.11] You never see us 'cause we don't come around.
[00:21.64] We got twenty five rifles just to keep the population down.
[00:32.53] But we need you now, and that's why I'm hangin' 'round.
[00:42.71] So you be good to me and I'll be good to you,
[00:46.49] And in this land of conditions I'm not above suspicion
[00:51.08] I won't attack you, but I won't back you.
[01:04.48] Well, it's so good to be here, asleep on your lawn.
[01:10.99] Remember your guard dog? Well, I'm afraid that he's gone.
[01:15.61] It was such a drag to hear him whining all night long.
[01:26.21] Yes, that was me with the doves, setting them free near the factory
[01:31.89] Where you built your computer, love.
[01:36.88] I hope you get the connection, 'cause I can't take the rejection
[01:42.63] I won't deceive you, I just don't believe you.
[02:31.56] Well, I'm a barrel of laughs, with my carbine on
[02:37.67] I keep 'em hoppin', till my ammunition's gone.
[02:42.31] But I'm still not happy, I feel like there's something wrong.
[02:52.48] I got the revolution blues, I see bloody fountains,
[02:59.23] And ten million dune buggies comin' down the mountains.
[03:03.92] Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars,
[03:09.41] But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars.
