Bad Company – Bad Company Lyrics 6 years ago
I feel like this song is about the seven cowboy bandits who had to protect a Mexican village in the 1960 film, The Magnificent Seven. It makes the most sense because the song states, "these towns... they all know our name." Also, the Magnificent Seven was continued from an older movie in the 50's called Seven Samurai. Despite the songs reference to the number six, the song also includes the lyrics, "chose a gun, and throw away the sword." This could reference the discard of swords that samurais used in the 50's, and pick up in the 60's to where the seven cowboys used guns instead. Makes sense? Hopefully. Just watch The Magnificent Seven movie and maybe the song will link. Plus the song was made in 1970, ten years after the movie was made. Just a thought!!!
