Bad Boys
Fiddler's Green Lyrics

My old teacher, even the preacher
Even the authorities who are supposed to guide and teach us recognized and acknowledged our troublesome nature

Told us that we were a pain
They told us outright that we were a constant source of annoyance and trouble

We're good for nothing, up to something
They believed we were useless individuals, always plotting and scheming

Our pranks drove them insane
The practical jokes and mischievous acts we carried out caused them to lose their sanity

Always wheeling, always dealing
We are constantly involved in deceitful activities and engaging in shady dealings

We're strangers to honor and shame
We have no familiarity with moral integrity or the feeling of embarrassment

Out all night to steal and fight
We spend our nights engaged in activities like theft and physical altercations

Ready to get in the game
We are always prepared to participate in unlawful or risky ventures

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
We are known for our tendency to deceive and cheat

(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
We are notorious for committing thefts and engaging in acts of violence

(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
We often find ourselves in situations of pain and suffering

(Bad boys) I am one of you
I proudly identify myself as one of these troubled individuals

The ground will be shaking
Our actions and presence will cause disruption and chaos

Glass will be breaking
We will leave behind a trail of destruction, shattering glass in our wake

In Sheriff Street later tonight
We will be causing trouble and wreaking havoc in the area known as Sheriff Street during the upcoming night

When you're out dancing, sweetly romancing
While others are enjoying innocent activities like dancing and romantic encounters

We'll be flying as high as a kite
We will be in a state of extreme excitement and intoxication, similar to the euphoria experienced while flying a kite

Get out of our way or you'll have to pray
If you don't want to face the consequences, you better step aside or start praying for mercy

That you wake up in some other place
You may find yourself waking up in a different location altogether, far away from the chaos and danger

And when morning comes
Once the night is over and daylight arrives

When I go to my mom's
When I return home to my mother's house

Then it's me who gets slapped in the face
I am the one who suffers the consequences and receives punishment

Sometimes I wish I could go straight
Occasionally, I yearn to live a law-abiding life and leave behind my criminal ways

Get rid of all this raging hate
I want to eliminate this intense anger and hostility that consumes me

But night comes 'round, blood starts to boil
However, as the night approaches, my emotions intensify, and I feel a surge of aggression

And I hear the shout
I am compelled to listen to the call of the wild, the aggressive shouting that prompts me to continue my reckless behavior

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
Once again, highlighting our inclination to deceive and cheat

(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
Emphasizing our involvement in thefts and acts of violence

(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
Acknowledging the pain and suffering that often accompanies our lifestyle

(Bad boys) We are the
We fully embrace our identity as the troublesome and lawless individuals we are

(Bad boys) I am one of you
Once again, asserting my belonging among this group of delinquent individuals
