Marina and The Diamonds

Bad Kidz

We came to an agreement in good health

That if no-one would take care of us

We'd be fine by ourselves

It was time to fight abuse

Of those who don't deserve our spit

Why is it that we crave the praise

From the people who least deserve it

If you gave us a flower

We could sit and we'd water it

But instead we watch you weave your webs

And you wait for us to fly into it

You act like you're a strong ant

We all act like we're weak

If only you'd quit trying to cripple

Our dancing feet

Bad kids, bad kids

Slip through your hands like liquid

Bad kids, bad kids

Vanish when you shut your eyelids

They'll vanish when you shut your eyelids

Thinking of it is painful

It's better to accept it all

Thinking of all the mothers and the daughters

And the fathers and the sons

Who are waiting for a call

That says I didn't mean it

I love you for who you are

Whether you made it in this sick industry or not

You'll always be our special star

He said, if I became a pretty flower

Would you sit and talk to me?

Oh my roots, my roots are getting old

And I'm getting, I'm getting, I'm getting, lonely, lonely

I'll play Superman, I'll make you feel safe

So why are you disappointed?

Everything that I did for you means nothing

Coz you've turned out to be wicked

Bad kids, bad kids

Vanish when you shut your eyelids

Bad kids, bad kids

Slip off your skin like liquid

Yeah, they slip off your skin like liquid

I'm a tangled ball of string

I'm a criminal, you're the victim

I am a cat and you are the mouse

And I am the milkmaid that killed all the cows

Am I the oil that stained the see?

Am I the storm that sunk the ship?

You are the horse on my cart

Persue, persue, persue

It's not me, it's not me, it's not me

That broke your heart

That broke your heart

That broke your heart

That broke your heart

ah-ah-ah
