Lyrics

Bad Penny

Yeah, as a kid I was a bad egg
My mother said it was a shame
I'd stay up late spinning Motörhead
The other kids gave me a name
Yeah the other kids they used to call me bad penny

I guess I've always been a black sheep
Never knew any other way
Valium, Xanax a nosebleed
I'm headed to an early grave
Anyway you look at it, I'm just a bad penny

Tell me what I am, what I am
I'm ready, here I am, here I am
Can't change me, who I am, who I am
Bad penny

Bad penny
Bad penny
Bad penny

Yeah as a kid I was a loner
Guess I ain't ever gonna change
I'm still a weirdo and I'm gonna
I'm gonna always be the same
Heya look at me, I'll always be a bad penny

Tell me what I am, what I am
I'm ready, here I am, here I am
Can't change me, who I am, who I am
Bad penny

Tell me what I am, what I am
I'm ready, here I am, here I am
Can't change me, who I am, who I am
Bad penny
