Bad Blood
Pro-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your sneakers are slipping do break your fall
You thought it was a game till johnny got his gun
The talons got your name I think you'd better run
My time, my work, your prize, you jerk
Realize, I despise, you and yours and you me
Bad blood bad blood bad blood bad blood
The bad blood is boiling on the floor
You can't stop the anger cause this means war
Surrender your conscience, and do your time
I will not forgive you for wasting mine

Musically, Pro-Pain's "Bad Blood" is a fast and aggressive track, with heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums. The vocals are raw and intense, adding to the overall sense of anger and aggression.
