"Good Guys, Bad Guys"
Lyrics Written By:  Camper Van Beethoven
Lyrics Transcribed By:  Jesse Jarnow
Debut: May 16, 1995

 

There are good guys* and there are bad guys*
There are crooks and criminals
There are doctors and there lawyers
Then there are folks like you and me**

Chorus:
    Let's get high while the radio's on
    Just relax and sing a song
    Drive your car up and the lawn
    And maybe play your guitar.

This here verse is for the people in ___***
Though it is a long, long ways away
They probably couldn't hear this song in ___***
Couldn't understand the words anyway

(Chorus)

Just be glad you live in America
Just relax and be yourself
'Cause if you didn't live here in America
You'd probably live someplace else.

(Chorus)

 

*the tune is actually titled "Good Guys, Bad Guys" on the official Camper Van Beethoven release...Al, though, introduces it as "Good Guys and Bad Guys"

**"you and me" on the original recording...though Al will often change this to whatever the hell he feels like (ex: "then there are folks like Mike and Topper")

***I can't remember what the original line is. I'll check it next time I'm in the radio station. Al, again, will change the place: Ex: "This here verse is for the people on Long Island... they probably couldn't hear this song on Long Island..."
