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 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 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 the tangled ball of string, I'm the criminal, you're the victim I am the cat, and you are the mouse And I am the milkmaid that killed all the cows So, am I the oil to stain your skin? Am I the storm that sank your ship? You are the horse, and I: the cart Persue, persue, persue It's not me 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!)
