Hey, can I tell you a little story

About a bad man looking for glory?

Oh, he wasn't such a bad man

But he kindly let his fame seep into his brain

Hey, can I tell you a little secret?

You see, the bad man, he was a lot like me

Oh, he had a little wisdom

But he traded it away for a fifteen minute reign

Bad man walking, bad man

Bad tongue talking

Hey, can you spare a little sympathy?

'Cause right now I think it's what I really need

Oh, do you think you really know yourself?

Are you sure what you might do

If the choice was up to you?

Bad man walking, bad man

Bad tongue talking

Bad man walking, bad man

Bad tongue talking, bad man

Bad man walking, bad man

Bad tongue talking
