Jack Johnson - Mediocre Bad Guys LYRICS

don't give me no comic book, sad looks no more

please don't use those same excuses you've used before

mmmmm... mmmmm...

you told yourself so many times it's okay

so eager to try but you just dont know how to come back down

and now...


CHORUS:

(beat me up and bring me down hope that i'll come around, kick me when i'm on

the ground

beatin' me up or bringin' me down, hopin' that i'll come around, kickin' me

when i'm on the ground)


well how about those people i know that you know the ones i mean

not so good, not so bad, only know what they have, and they have only what

they have seen

those mediocre bad guys can really bring you down

they can't be defeated and you know they're never gonna come around


CHORUS:

(beat me up and bring me down hope that i'll come around, kick me when i'm on

the ground

beatin' me up or bringin' me down, hopin' that i'll come around, kickin' me

when i'm on the ground)


well somebody's something was left in the room

and now that it's gone of course we assume

that somebody else needed something so bad

that they took everything that somebody had.


somebody saw him jump yeah but nobody saw him slip

i guess he lost alot of hope and then he lost his grip

and now he's lying on the freeway in the middle of this mess

guess we lost another on just like the other one


CHORUS:

(beat me up and bring me down hope that i'll come around, kick me when i'm on

the ground

beatin' me up or bringin' me down, hopin' that i'll come around, kickin' me

when i'm on the ground)
