this one’s for the good guys and the bad guys and all the rest
we tell stories of victims saved by heroes from the villains
we call them fables, myths and legends and the history of our identity, you know the real reality
and we love the label hero but we fear the label villain
so if someone names us villain then of course we claim to be their victim
(hey, now hadn’t you ever been framed and ain’t it just the most heinous crime?)
every story has more versions than the one I choose to tell
mine is always best though most sincere and most complete
the good guys always win and the good guy is always me
so this one’s for the good guys and the bad guys and all the rest
though we all know what makes a story good is sexy damsels in distress
You know that story of a victim who was framed by evil villains?
I forget just what his name is, but it’s really famous. He believes that he’s in hell.
Then there’s one story of a victim who gets rescued by a savior.
Jesus, come on, you’ve heard it, right? Something about heaven and dead people who can’t die.
Well, then there’s the evil of our enemy, their corrupt government and sensationalist media
I sure am glad our heroes protect us from such contrived paranoid hysteria
The opposition is so belligerent, antagonistic, unintelligent.
Yes, it’s the same divisive story that’s told by every side.
so here’s to the good guys and the bad guys and all the rest
though we all know what makes a story good is sexy damsels in distress
