Bad Kids Lyrics

Bad kids all my friends are bad kids
Product of no dad kids
Kids like you and me

Bad kids ain't no college grad kids
Livin life out on the skids
Kids like you and me

In Class
We are a minority
Got no
Respect for authority
And won't
Play well with others
And steal
From all your mothers
They'll try
To give us pills
Oh wait
Give us all the pills
Go cry
Mom I gotta go to court
Dad won't
Pay his child support

Well you gotta understand
We only do these things because all we are

Bad kids all my friends are bad kids
Product of no dad kids
Kids like you and me

Bad kids ain't no college grad kids
Livin life out on the skids
Kids like you and me

At home
He throws a hissy fit
Time out
He don't give a shit
Got drunk
Off grandma's schnaps
Got caught
Runnin from the cops
Toilet
Paper in your yard
Six F's
On my report card
Smokes cigs
In the bathroom stall
Spray paint
A penis on the wall

Well you gotta understand
We only do these things because all we are

Bad kids all my friends are bad kids
Product of no dad kids
Kids like you and me

Bad kids ain't no college grad kids
Livin life out on the skids
Kids like you and me
Like you and me

there is always "hidden" meaning, numbnuts. there is actually a great deal of it being conjured in every black lips song. here's a hint: what does the label 'bad kid' do to a child?

actually, there is not always a hidden meaning

there is definitely not a lot of hidden meanings in Black Lips songs. they're just a fun band. Don't read to far into their songs or you'll end up making your own meaning

lawnwrangler,

i wouldn't be surprised if there was some greater meaning to this song, but how is that anything but wild conjecture on your part?

Cover art for Bad Kids lyrics by Black Lips

this song is my life.

this is their worst song next to 'how do you tell a child' Just about everything else from this band is fucking awesome.

Just cuz "bad kids" is popular doesn't make it bad you INDY ELITEIST! grow up. that's like saying "Waiting Room" is Fugazi's worst song.

P.S. How Do You Tell A Child is also golden; you just probably don't like country.

this song is my life.

this song is awsome. I highly doubt that it has any hidden meaning behind it.

haha. it sounded like he said faggots before i saw these lyrics

Cover art for Bad Kids lyrics by Black Lips

faggot kids (as a parody of bigotry) would be pretty funny "faggots all my friends are faggots product of horny preist kids gays like you and me"

It's pretty straightforward, but I read somewhere that it was about one of the band members' experiences as a child in a "bad kid" school, or center.

And since Joe, the drummer, sings it, it's probably his.

that's true Blackie, when I saw them live Joe, the drummer, sung it up on stage all by his lonesome. I think its a song very prevalent of our generation (kids born post-1983) It's a very different time for development, let's just say that. I like the Freudian shit here:

'Bad kids all my friends are bad kids product of no dad kids'

I love this song. It should be the "i don't give a shit" anthem.

Cover art for Bad Kids lyrics by Black Lips

i kinda thought it was about how no one really gives the "bad kids" in school much thought, just ignore them and push them off to the side as people who aren't going anywhere and don't care about anything or anyone. but they're people too!
