The Lyrics

The story of an evil henchman who just couldn't take it anymore.
We're hired henchmen, all in a crew
We only do one thing: that's kung fu
Oh, and our evil leader has big things to do
He makes evil look so fun

But there's a singular hero, saving the day
He's clean-cut and shaven, the ladies, they sway
Oh, and we've gotta fight him and send him away
But we all forgot our guns

Always this good guy bum
Now we're all dead
Always this good guy bum
Always this good guy bum

You mighta heard of him, he's a really big star
He owns four houses and six nice cars
So though his acting is just sub-par
Oh, his wallet still weighs a ton

So come on, big spender, don't forget lines
Do your own stunts for all those dollar signs
And we must lose to this loser who whines
In real fights, he'd prob-ly run

Dammit,
Always this good guy bum
Woah woah woah, woah-ah woah woah woah
I tell ya,
Good guys are just so dumb
Always this good guy bum

He's got a pony-tail and he wins in ev'ry confrontation
We attack one by one
As the cameras run
Oh, I tell ya getting beaten this way is such degradation
We shouldn't have to wait
Instead of one, attack in groups of eight

He thinks he's a hero, and he should get bent
(He's) got four nice houses, I still gotta rent
Collects his own action-figures, ten-thousands he's spent
So last night I kicked his bum

I started schoolin' good guy bum
Ha ha ha, yeah-yeah
I started kicking his raw-hide numb
After I downed some rum

(The scramblin' movie-star beat-up scene solo)

Oh, next morning when I woke up I was inside of a police station
The bruise he got from me
Well, all it did was draw publicity
Oh, woah woah

It's out, it's out, it's out, the movie with fighting tricks
The one I was in joins the action flicks
I'll get to see it when I get out in six
Until then I'll hate that bum

You know it's
Always that good guy bum
Drivin' me crazy
You know it's
Always that good guy bum
Always that good guy bum

Always some buuuuuu-uuuuum
Always some good guy bum

When you got to the part about the ponytail, I figured this was about Steven Seagal. That took this from a 3 to a 5 real fast.

Good comments about Segal. But he really is a Martial Arts expert, or so I have heard. 555
