"Takin' Care Of Bad Guys"

[Musical Intro]

You get up every morning
To your 'larm buzzer warning
Take the next shuttle to the city
There's lasers flashing overhead
People up there gettin' dead
While you're at work, just sittin' pretty
And if your shuttle's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at us, we're all employed
Gettin' shot at by the baddies all day
And we'll be

Taking care of bad guys (every day)
Taking care of Thargoids (every way)
We been taking care of Pirates (that one's mine!)
Taking care of bad guys and working overtime
Warp out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a technician
If you could shoot at specks on a scanner
Get a second-hand Cobra
Chances are you'll go far
(If you survive your very first encounter)
People see you having fun
Just dog-fightin' near the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the boredom we avoid
And we're all well-employed
We love to shoot at bad guys all day
And we be

Taking care of bad guys (every day)
Taking care of Thargoids (every way)
We been taking care of Pirates (that one's mine!)
Taking care of bad guys and working overtime

Mercy
Whooooo
Right on!

[Instrumental Interlude]

Take good care of those bad guys
When I'm away, every day
Whoooo

You get up every morning
To your 'larm buzzer warning
Take the next shuttle to the city
There's lasers flashing overhead
People up there gettin' dead
While you're at work, just sittin' pretty
And if your shuttle's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at us, we're all employed
Gettin' shot at by the baddies all day
And I'll be

Taking care of bad guys (every day)
Taking care of Thargoids (every way)
We been taking care of Pirates (that one's mine!)
Taking care of bad guys and working overtime

[Brief Instrumental Interlude]

Takin' care of bad guys, whoo
Takin' care of Thargoids
Takin' care of Pirates
Takin' care of Raiders
Takin' care of bad guys (every day)
Takin' care of Thargoids (every way)
Takin' care of Pirates (that one's mine!)
Takin' care of bad guys
And working overtime
Whoooo
Takin' care of bad guys
Takin' care of Thargoids
Takin' care of Pirates
We be Takin' care of Thargoids
We be Takin' care of Pirates
Takin' care of bad guys
Takin' care of bad guys

And I reiterate, we need an Adder garage band (or five) to get some of these down on disc!

Love it Diz :D
