Let the Bad Times Roll

[Intro] It just takes the gentlest breeze To make some bad apples get out of their trees Some bad apples are rotten to the core They are wasted way before they hit the floor They follow other laws Just a different kind of soul That lets the bad times roll Just lets the bad times roll [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] You write a letter to yourself, then you throw it away It said, "Be better to yourself," but you threw it away Well, what you want is what you want, it's all just words anyway Why don't we get in the bed that we made? Yeah, if I said, "I'm feeling troubled," then the trouble was me Yeah, if I said there was a problem, then the problem was me They said, "You have to get into it," but I just could not breathe I stepped out I stepped out [Chorus] (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] You write a letter to yourself, then you throw it away It said, "Be better to yourself," but you threw it away Well, what you want is what you want, it's all just words anyway Why don't we get in the bed that we made? Yeah, if I said, "I'm feeling troubled," then the trouble was me Yeah, if I said there was a problem, then the problem was me They said, "You have to get into it," but I just could not breathe I stepped out Ah, I stepped out [Bridge] (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) Let the bad times just roll you away (Bad times roll) Let the bad times just roll you away You don't have the will, so don't lie that you won't (Bad times roll) 'Cause you're damned if you do and you're lost if you don't Let the bad times just roll you away (Bad times roll) Let the bad times just roll you away You don't have the will, so don't lie that you won't (Bad times roll) 'Cause you're damned if you do and you're lost if you don't (Bad times roll) (Bad times roll) [Outro] (...you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't) (if,If you don't) (you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't) If, if you don't (you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't) If, if you don't (you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't)
