Banditos Lyrics
So just how far down do you want to go?
We could talk it out over a cup of joe
And you could look deep in my eyes
Like I was a supermodel
Uh huh
Well, it's you and me baby, no one else we can trust
We'll say nothin' to no one, no how or we'll bust
And never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody
Uh huh
Well give you ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
'Cause they won't speak English anyways
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistol, so I'll keep the pesos
Yeah, and that seems fair
So put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
And slash the deputy's tires and' they won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up
Uh huh
Well give you ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
'Cause they won't speak English anyways
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistol, so I'll keep the pesos
Yeah, that seems fair
That seems fair
And that seems fair
Well that seems fair, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well give you ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
'Cause they won't speak English anyways
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistol, so I'll keep the pesos
Yeah, that seems fair
That seems fair
And that seems fair
Well that seems fair, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We could talk it out over a cup of joe
And you could look deep in my eyes
Like I was a supermodel
Uh huh
We'll say nothin' to no one, no how or we'll bust
And never crack a smile or flinch or cry

And that seems fair
Well that seems fair, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people"
hehe, not the full message of the song, but that line is classic and the song has a permanent spot on my playlist.
just a great fun arizona rock track, classic band, shame they didn't keep going with it, I love the alias line, in its own right hilarious and true
Did anyone else think that the singer betrays his partner? "I've got the pistols, so I'll keep the pesos." He could be talking to the cashier or whatever, but somehow I always thought he turned on the other person.
Definately. "Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people, so meet me at the mission at midnight, we'll divvy up there. And I'll just go ahead and hang on to all these pesos in the mean time. Look deep into my eyes, you can trust me."

OK, so that is a paraphrase of the song. But yeah, the partner-in-crime is not gonna see a single peso, that's for sure.

i used to listen to this song all the time, some of the words stuck in my head, it's a pretty fun song, no real "behind the music" type meaning though.
this song is really fun to listen to when you're sneaking out your mom's car in the middle of the night to go pick up your lover girl (or boy)
Classic tune from a classic Arizona band. By the way they are still going, kinda, Roger heads up a band called The Peacemakers. Strange name but great miusic!
This song's crazy. I wish I could just find somebody to run away with right about now.
I think this tune's somewhat ironic...the banditos say the world's fun of stupid people, but at the same time they're screwing with life and law enforcement. Who's stupid now? Great song, by the way.
TheSilverNoble, I used to think the same thing. Funny line though. Dont mess with a man with guns.
Mmm
definitely screwing over his partner...
Kind of ironic, like he's saying that the world is full of stupid people, but he's setting up his partner to get caught, ie the obvious fake alias and the "meeting" where i don't think that they will really meet...
and the guns and all...
great song, btw. love the guys...
