Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heard you got detention three times this week
Playing with the bad kids down by the creek
When I was your age, oh I did the same
I'll save you some trouble, boy, and try to explain
[Chorus]
Defcon tractor beams
Weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella
Set to stun
Defcon tractor beams
Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership
Weaponized funk
[Verse 2]
Let me back up 20 years or so
Before I met your mama I was living on the road
I met a belle from the astral planes
Hopped in my 710
I was never quite the same
[Chorus]
Defcon tractor beams
Weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella
Set to stun
Defcon tractor beams
Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership
Weaponized funk
[Bridge]
One last word to the wise
While we got some time to kill
If the X-rays don't get ya
Then the heartbreak surely will
[Verse 3]
When it was over all I had to show
Big bill from Motel 6 and a broken nose
From east of Needles to eternity
Space trucking, son, ain't what it used to be
[Chorus]
Defcon tractor beams
Weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella
Set to stun
Defcon tractor beams
Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership
Weaponized funk
[Chorus]
Defcon tractor beams
Weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella
Set to stun
Defcon tractor beams
Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership
