Born to be Bad
Runaways Lyrics

Bodies without minds
People who act without thinking about the consequences of their actions.

I hear you're the ones with the bleeding hearts
She has heard that they are the sensitive and emotional type.

Blue and bitter sweet
The feeling she has towards the people who she perceives as too good and too innocent.

You tear my dreams apart.
The good and innocent people who may try to stop her from achieving her desires.

'Cause I was born to be bad
She believes that she is inherently a bad person.

I'm not sad
She does not feel regret or sadness about her actions.

And I'm glad I did it
She is happy that she acted on her desires, regardless of the consequences.

I think you should all get with it.
She believes that people should embrace their darker desires and act on them, like she does.

The damn don't cry
People who are evil or bad do not show remorse or guilt.

Cry out when they're betrayed
However, they will react with anger and the desire for revenge when they feel betrayed.

Bodies slam, they scream
Violent reactions to feeling betrayed.

As the keynote fades.
The intensity of the reaction will lessen over time, like music fading away.

How many times has the Lord called to you
How many times has she been warned by society or religion against her behavior.

Accused you of somethin' that you haven't copped to
She has been accused of things she has not admitted to doing.

I think you've been a, I think you've been a bad girl
Her boyfriend accuses her of being bad, which she admits and takes pride in.

Because you've been acting very bad
Her boyfriend believes she has been acting out of turn or inappropriately.

I said 'Yeah, because it's my world
She admits to being bad because she feels it is her right to act however she wants.

And I've been all too bad'
She admits to embracing her darker desires.

I said 'I suppose you care less, I think you'd better go home now
She dismisses her boyfriend because he cannot accept her desires and behavior.

I don't want to see you no more'.
She no longer wishes to be with someone who judges her for her behavior.

I want ya to bring me daises
She requests a romantic gesture from someone else.

For my mad desires
She has strong desires and expects someone else to fulfill them.

And if it bites the dust
If her desires are not met, she will not be interested in continuing the relationship.

I guess you're just gonna have to miss my fire.
She is confident in her own desires and does not need someone who cannot fulfill them.
