Lyrics

Bad Seeds

They keep us apart from the other kids

They try to keep us from each other

We're no good is what they say

But we just see this world in a different way

We're bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

We're bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

They make a lot of rules

They tell a lot of lies

If we don't wanna, we won't behave

And they can't make us, 'cause we can't be made

We're bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

We're bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

The new generation formed the teenage nation

This time, let's do it right

Bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

We're bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad, bad, bad seeds

We're bad, bad seeds

Bad, bad
