Bad
Jello Biafra With NoMeansNo Lyrics

we're bad
We are rebellious and dissatisfied with conforming to societal norms.

so bad we're bad
Our badness defines us as individualistic and fills us with a sense of pride.

i feel it in my heart
There is a deep-seated passion within me for being bad and going against the grain.

i believe it in my soul
To the core of my being, I am convinced that being bad is the right path for me.

but we will never live
Unfortunately, our non-conformity may come at the cost of a shorter lifespan.

long enough to know
We will not have the opportunity to see the true consequences of our actions in the long-term.

restless and curious
We possess an unquenchable desire to explore and challenge the status quo.

down in my gut i know
My intuition tells me that there is something inherently wrong with following the crowd.

that i will never ever want what i am told cos
I reject conforming to societal expectations and want to pave my own path.

mama told me from the start
My mother warned me that my non-conformity could be detrimental to my reputation and future prospects.

got the same rap at school
I received similar warnings and criticisms from my peers and teachers for my rebellious behavior.

heard it so much that now
The criticisms and warnings have become ingrained in my psyche and influence my actions.

guess i believe it too
I have internalized the negative comments and now believe the negative perception of me.

so guess what kinda crowd
As a result of being ostracized and criticized, I have gravitated towards a like-minded crowd of rebellious individuals.

i hang around with now
I associate myself with people who share my same non-conformity and desire for rejecting societal norms.

doing bad is better than doing nothing at all
In the face of criticism and rejection, rebelling and causing trouble is more fulfilling than sitting idly by and conforming.
