Well, we live in a trailer
at the edge of town
You never see us
´cause we don´t come around.
We got twenty five rifles
just to keep
the population down.
But we need you now,
and that´s why
I´m hangin´ ´round.
So you be good to me
and I´ll be good to you,
And in this land of conditions
I´m not above suspicion
I won´t attack you,
but I won´t back you.

Well, it´s so good to be here,
asleep on your lawn.
Remember your guard dog?
Well, I´m afraid
that he´s gone.
It was such a drag
to hear him
whining all night long.
Yes, that was me with the doves,
setting them free
near the factory
Where you built your computer,
love.
I hope you get the connection,
´cause I can´t take
the rejection
I won´t deceive you,
I just don´t believe you.

Well, I´m a barrel of laughs,
with my carbine on
I keep ´em hoppin´,
till my ammunition´s gone.
But I´m still not happy,
I feel like
there´s something wrong.
I got the revolution blues,
I see bloody fountains,
And ten million dune buggies
comin´ down the mountains.
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon
is full of famous stars,
But I hate them worse than lepers
and I´ll kill them
in their cars.
