Bad Luck Lyrics
Some people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock n' roll,
You're always singin' the blues.
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why.
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
CHORUS: You got bad, bad luck.
Bad, bad luck. REPEAT
Thirteen's my luck number,
To you it means stay inside.
Black cat done crossed my path,
No reason to run and hide.
You're looking through a cracked mirror,
No one really knows the reason why.
Your enemies are getting nearer,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
REPEAT CHORUS
Some people go to church on sundays,
Others they pray at home.
You tell them that there ain't no God,
That they're better off standin' alone.
You're always scratchin' at the eight ball,
No one really knows the reason why.
You do the job and then you fall,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
REPEAT CHORUS X2:
Come on give it to me.
Bad, bad luck,
Bad, bad luck.
Go on get it.
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock n' roll,
You're always singin' the blues.
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why.
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
CHORUS: You got bad, bad luck.
Bad, bad luck. REPEAT
Thirteen's my luck number,
To you it means stay inside.
Black cat done crossed my path,
No reason to run and hide.
You're looking through a cracked mirror,
No one really knows the reason why.
Your enemies are getting nearer,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
REPEAT CHORUS
Some people go to church on sundays,
Others they pray at home.
You tell them that there ain't no God,
That they're better off standin' alone.
You're always scratchin' at the eight ball,
No one really knows the reason why.
You do the job and then you fall,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
REPEAT CHORUS X2:
Come on give it to me.
Bad, bad luck,
Bad, bad luck.
Go on get it.

You're always scratchin' at the eight ball... drugs You're always scratchin' on the eight ball... pool
means he has bad luck and has had it for a while... nothing new to him.
I get this song as bad luck and bad things are a part of life. Some people choose to put too much meaning into their bad luck that they live in fear and superstition; whereas Mike ness just decides to 'keep on keeping on'
Mike says that this song was written for people he saw that are worried and insecure all the time, living in fear of things.
Damn Mike Ness is so awesome!
my theme song.... another mike ness classic.
one of my fav social song
They are just trying to prove something which they've got when they are still little. Some realize with themselves, Some need someone to reazize, Some would never even realize and would just be suffered.
I have never failed to fail
