Bad Guys
Bleeding Knees Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She ran away
You made her cry
You feel alone
I wonder why
You're twenty five and such a
Bad guy
You know you are all bad guys
Ooh
Bad guys
You know you are all bad guys
Bad guys they rule the town
Girls' tears are on the ground
Good guys just can't be found around here
They smoke at night
They make girls cry
They get so high
They are bad guys
Bad guys
You know you are all bad guys
Ooh
Bad guys
You know you are all bad guys
Leather jacket and my boots
Getting drunk up on the roof
You know that you are such a fool
They smoke at night
They make girls cry
They get so high
They are bad guys
Bad guys
You know you are all bad guys
Ooh
Bad guys
You know you are all bad guys
Tattooed skin
Motorbike sold
That's when you know
You're getting old
You're forty five
And still a bad guy
You know you are all bad guys
Ooh




Bad guys
You know you are all bad guys
