          Am
Well, we live in a trailer at the edge of town
You never see us because we don't come around
         F
We got twenty five rifles just
                        Am
to keep the population down
       Dm7
But we need you now and that's why
     Am
I'm hangin' 'round
                   F
So you be good to me and I'll be good to you
E7
And in this land of conditions
    Am
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 build 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 hopping 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
coming 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
