Good Boys Gone Rad Lyrics
burn the liars
yeah, everybody knows this world is crazy
start a fire
it's getting hot inside your head tonight, alright
sugar on your lips
they put the lemon on your tongue
then put the price up on the drinks you sip
and named the short ones after guns
they tried to upstage us
we walk like we're famous
i've made some of my best mistakes
inside your shoes
if you surrender
you'll only offend her
don't need to see the things I've been told she can do
learn your lines
before somebody says you're getting lazy
friends for hire
it's hot as hell in the desert tonight, alright
lipstick on your chest
they put the poison in your glass
they put the price upon the head you gave
and took the rest, no need to ask
they tried to upstage us
we walk like we're famous
i've made some of my best mistakes
inside your shoes
if you surrender
you'll only offend her
don't need to see the things i've been told she can do
play D.E.A.D, it's easy
they tried to upstage us
we walk like we're famous
i've made some of my best mistakes inside your shoes
they tried to upstage us
we walk like we're famous
is that honestly the best that you can do?
yeah, everybody knows this world is crazy
start a fire
it's getting hot inside your head tonight, alright
sugar on your lips
they put the lemon on your tongue
then put the price up on the drinks you sip
and named the short ones after guns
we walk like we're famous
i've made some of my best mistakes
inside your shoes
if you surrender
you'll only offend her
don't need to see the things I've been told she can do
before somebody says you're getting lazy
friends for hire
it's hot as hell in the desert tonight, alright
lipstick on your chest
they put the poison in your glass
they put the price upon the head you gave
and took the rest, no need to ask
we walk like we're famous
i've made some of my best mistakes

you'll only offend her
don't need to see the things i've been told she can do

This song is awesome, as are the band
Especially live
This song would have been a much better choice of first single from the album....much better then me me me (give me what i want)
this is apparently about the 'war on terror' and the irresponsible and indifferent attitude that the current regime have towards freedoms and war.
there is a distinct impression that soldiers were brainwashed and were fighting a war they did not want or understand.
i think the reference to fame, arrogance and audacity in the chorus reflects on america's position as world leader and the amount of tv coverage the war received - bordering on glamourization. at the same time, there seems to be an opposing force saying that 'mistakes' have been made in the country's name.
i think 'her' refers to lady liberty, a bit of a tongue in cheek reference that aled also used in historia, given the theme of the song.
Ok, I'm not seeing the reference at all there dorothyparker, but fair enough. I can't really comment though, since I'm unsure of the meaning. Good song though. :)
