We came to an agreement in good health That if no-one would take care of us, we'd be fine by ourselves It was time to cut the views Of those who don't deserve our spit Why is it that we crave the praise From the people who least deserve it? If you gave us a flower We'd sit and we'd water it But instead we watch you weave your web And you wait for us to fly into it You act like you're a strong ant We all act like we're weak If only you'd quit trying to cripple Our dancing fee-ee-eet (Give and forgive) Bad kids Bad kids Slip through your hands like liquid Bad kids Bad kids Vanish when you shut your eyelids They'll vanish when you shut your eyelids Thinking of it is painful It's better to accept it all Thinking of all the mothers and the daughters And the fathers and the sons Who are waiting for a call That says: I didn't mean it I love you for who you are Whether you make it in this sick industry or not You'll always be my special star He said If I became a pretty flower Would you sit and talk to me? Oh my roots, my roots are getting old And I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm getting lonely, lonely! I'd play Superman, I'd make you feel safe So why are you disappointed? Everything that I did for you means nothing 'Cause you turned out to be wicked Bad kids Bad kids Vanish when you shut your eyelids Bad kids Bad kids Slip off your skin like liquid Yeah, they slip off your skin like liquid I'm a tangled ball of string I'm a criminal, you're the victim I am a cat, and you are the mouse And I am the milkmaid that killed all the cows Oh, am I the oil to stain your skin? Am I the storm that sank your ship? Or you are the horse, and I, the cart But it's you, but it's you, but it's you It's not me, it's not me, it's not me That broke your heart That broke your heart That broke your heart That broke your heart (A-a-ah!)
