Song language: English
Bad Man |
| Felt unwanted and rejected as a child |
| Was always evil talkin', dirty and running wild |
| Caught red-handed thieving hubcaps as a teen |
| Judge was lenient when you told him you’d go clean |
| One year’s probation just added to your frustration |
| But a bad man’s gotta pay once in a while |
| Did your utmost to perfect the perfect crime |
| Was apprehended in the phone booth stealing dimes |
| Tried a thousand schemes and nothing made you rich |
| Well every endeavor never fails to have a hitch |
| Here’s the place be quick it’s time to face the music |
| Cause the bad man’s gotta steal to stay alive |
| Now you’re low and low is wearing mighty thin |
| Yes you’re low, you’re high and then you’re low again |
| You have precisely half a dozen phony names |
| You’ve got no mercy and Lord knows you got no shame |
| There’s no one home, can’t you see the house is dark |
| Ooh the driveway’s empty where a car is usually parked |
| Now’s the time to go through any unlocked window |
| Cause a bad man’s gotta earn a living too |
| Now you’re down and down and down is where they have you pinned |
| Yes you’re down, you’re up and then you’re down again |
