History Song
The Bad & The Queen The Good Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
"Any of you fucking pricks move
And I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!"

Me and Fast got the gats, we're out to rob a bank
We got Steve outside, carrying a full pack
Now everything's cool and everthing's smooth
I walked up to the teller, I gave her the letter
She gave me the loot with puckered up lips
And a wink that I found cute, and I said,
"Baby, baby, baby"
(Is this some Kharmic-Chi love thing happening here baby or what)
By that time Fast tapped me with the nine
He said it's time to blow, ya know, so out the door we go
Back to the ride with Steve inside and alive, off we drive
See, I hurt my lower lumbar, you know we'll never get far
Riding around in a stolen police car
So we dropped it off and piled in a Caddy
Steve was driving 'cause I had to talk to my man about something

"Look, I don't know anything about any fucking set-up
You can torture me all you want"
"Torture you, that's good, that's a good idea, I like that one"

Running around robbing banks
All whacked off of Scooby Snacks
Running around robbing banks
All whacked off of Scooby Snacks

And I don't give a fuck about the hell's gate
Ain't punkin' the crowd and I'm still standing up straight
So, we pull these jobs to make a little money
No one gets hurt if they don't act funny

On the way to the yacht, we almost got caught
Fast is shooting mailboxes, not knowing where the cop is, yeah
They're at the Dunkin Donuts, adjacent from the Fromans
Whose mailbox Fast had just exploded

They gave chase, but my man Steve's an ace
And we lost those brothers with haste
We casted off and along we went
Off Bermuda to an island resort we rented

"Sonny, I need you cool
"Are you cool?"
"I am cool"

Running around robbing banks
All whacked off of Scooby Snacks
Running around robbing banks
All whacked off of Scooby Snacks

Running around robbing banks
All whacked off of Scooby Snacks




Running around robbing banks
All whacked off of Scooby Snacks

Overall Meaning

The Bad and The Queen's song History Song is a sarcastic take on crime and criminal behavior. The lyrics start with the famous lines from Quentin Tarantino's movie Pulp Fiction, where the fictional characters declare a robbery in progress. The lyrics then shift to describe a bank robbery being carried out by the singer and their accomplices, Fast and Steve. The tone of the song is playful and upbeat, contrasting with the violent nature of the act they are committing.


As the robbery proceeds without incident, the singer flirts with the teller, but their partner Fast reminds them to stay focused on the task at hand. When a police car is stolen, they quickly realize it's not a good vehicle to use for their escape and abandon it. The group then moves on to a yacht where they almost get caught but eventually make their getaway. Through the lyrics, the group describes their criminal behavior as a means to make money without hurting anyone who doesn't act funny.

Come the day
You see the sun
Hit the arch
A history song
If you don't know it now then you will do
If you don't know it now then you will do
A ship across
The estuary
Sundays lost
In melancholy
If you don't know it now then you will do
If you don't know it now then you will do
A storm of strings
Far away
The hangers on
Saved the day
If you don't know it now then you will do
If you don't know it now then you will do
And if you don't feel it now then you will do
And if you don't feel it now then you will do

Come the day
You see the sun
Hit the arch
A history song

If you don't know it now
Then you will do
If you don't know it now
Then you will do

Shiver 'cross
The estuary
Sunday's lost
In melancholy

If you don't know it now
Then you will do
And if you don't know it now
Then you will do

A storm upstream's
Far away
The hangers-on
Save the day

If you don't know it now
Then you will do
If you don't know it now
Then you will do

And if you don't feel it now
Then you will do
If you don't feel it now
Then you will... do

La la la
