Lyrics

[Ensemble] Whoo! [VEEP, spoken] As your Vice President, I am honored to convey a message from Dear Leader, who is busy doing other important things He has ordered us to drop our bombs on cheatin' China [Ensemble] (General approval, celebratory sounds) [VEEP] Matters of state used to feel complicated, nuanced, frustrating But no longer (sung) America used to struggle, too much give, too little take Goldarn-gee of politics give us a bellyache But now we have Dear Leader, with highfalutin skills And here's our new solution for a litany of ills: Good guy with a gun, good guy with a gun Nothing says "I love you" like A good guy with a gun [Ensemble, sung] Oooooh Oooooh [VEEP] It's time to get real tough with folks so's we's can liberate 'em Drop our bombs to help 'em, and not because we hate 'em We're kind to all out friends and stray dogs that come along That's how we know our hearts are right and we can do no wrong Goog guy with a gun [Ensemble, simultaneously] Oooh [All] Good guy with a gun Life can be so simple for A good guy [VEEP] With a gun You'll never lose face when your finger's on the trigger The world's a scary place, so get a gun that's bigger! [Female Ensemble] Smile more, smile more I must confess under all of this ooh-ing I'm faking, heart breaking Dancing [Hillary] And unglueing But I'll smile harder Through this massive repression Til my war can be more than [Female Ensemble, simultaneously] Just smile Just smile Smile, smile [Female Ensemble and Hillary] Just my own passive aggression [VEEP] "I love you's" just a nice try If you end up a dead guy Those words mean more when said by A good guy with a gun Dangerous work in every corner all across our land [All] We're rugged individuals [VEEP] Don't give me your hand A real man knows he stands alone He depends on no one That's why no American— (spoken) No American would throw away his gun (Laughs) Come on! [All] Good guy with a gun Good guy with a gun That's why no American Would throw away his— [VEEP] Sing! [All} La la la la la La la la la la la [VEEP, sung] That's why no American [Ensemble, simultaneously] Ooooh [All] Would throw away his gun! [VEEP] BANG!
