Up To No Good Lyrics

No one is safe here, we're all in danger
Through the corridor I see a stranger
Robbin' and ransackin', I see him walkin'
Lock your doors now, I hear him knockin'

Up to no good like a spark on a wire or a splinter in wood
Best intentions get misunderstood but that motherfucker is up to no good

Quick like a snake, he's good at stealing
He'll even steal the plaster off the ceiling
Cloaked in darkness, I see him standin'
Making moves in the night, he's a ghost man

Criminals, I understand them
Watch your back 'cause we'll come at random
Born to lose and you end up in the system
He's our friend, now we're gonna miss him

Cover art for Up To No Good lyrics by Rancid

“Growing up in a crew there’s always a dubious personality. The natures of those who play the game of survival are not for us to judge but only to observe. There is an honor among thieves, whether you agree with it or not, it exists and thrives in this day and age. To our friends on the inside a message: We will celebrate your return and up to your release we will hold you in high regard. Love always.” — Lars Frederiksen

2nd ?-"Robbin' and ran-sack it" (Correction) Chorus-"Like a spark on a wire" 3rd ?-"Creeps in darkness" 4th ?-"He's a ghost man" 5th ?- "Born to lose" (I believe...)

That's all I got...

Here are the lyrics straight from the booklet:

No one is safe here, we're all in danger Through the corridor I see a stranger Robbin' and ransackin', I see him walkin' Lock your doors now, I hear him knockin'

Up to no good like a spark on a wire or a splinter in wood Best intentions get misunderstood but that motherfucker is up to no good

Quick like a snake, he's good at stealing He'll even steal the plaster off the ceiling Cloaked in darkness, I see him standin' Making moves in the night, he's a ghost man

Criminals, I understand them Watch your back 'cause we'll come at random Born to lose and you end up in the system He's our friend, now we're gonna miss him
