Lyrics
Jon sparks his cigarette
Hands it off to Michael
While he asks aloud if he should take Liz home again
Mike just spits and grins
And, drinkin' in his smoke, tells Jon
"It's time you learned to swim, if you know what I mean"
Sometimes, your friends will be your fix
Sometimes, your upturned fist
But if you are learnin' to live like this, yo
Well, I can teach you to live like this, yeah
Like this
Like this, like this, like this, like this
And we'll
Shoot right between the eyes
With a message from on high
There's no tomorrow 'til you've earned it
And I'll
Light fires through the night
I'm not tryin' to just survive
I want to live 'cause I deserve it
So don't you worry
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how
Don't you worry
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how
Goon squad shows you how
To live life free of chains
Shackles on the ground, outstretch your arms
Then turn around and find you're home again
And when you get there, you will see
The friends you've made along the way
They start to look like family, if you know what I mean
Sometimes, your friends will be your fix
Sometimes, your upturned fist
But if you are learnin' to live like this, yo
Well, I can teach you to live like this, yeah
Like this
Like this, like this, like this, like this
And we'll
Shoot right between the eyes
With a message from on high
There's no tomorrow 'til you've earned it
And I'll
Light fires through the night
I'm not tryin' to just survive
I want to live 'cause I deserve it
So don't you worry
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how
Don't you worry
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how, how
How to feel it in your bloodstream
Louder than your heartbeat
Teach me what the words mean
And I will sing along
Feel it in your bloodstream
Louder than your heartbeat
Teach me what the words mean and I'll join you singin'
Feel it in your bloodstream
Louder than your heartbeat
Teach me what the words mean and we will sing along
Feel it in your bloodstream
Louder than your heartbeat
I'll teach you what the words mean if you'll join me singin'
We'll
Shoot right between the eyes
With a message from on high
There's no tomorrow 'til you've earned it
And I'll
Light fires through the night
I'm not tryin' to just survive
I want to live 'cause I deserve it
Don't you worry
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how
Don't you worry
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how
No, no, don't you worry
Don't you worry, hey, hey, hey
Oh, the goon squad's gonna show you how
Don't you worry
The goon squad's gonna show you how
The goon squad shows you how
(Oh, whoa-oh, hey, hey, hey)
Oh, the goon squad, the goon squad's gonna show you
(No, hey, hey, hey)
Oh, the goon squad's gonna show you how
