Lyrics

Bad Influence

I got my own issues
Own issues, own issues, yeah
I keep looking over my shoulder
Over my shoulder, over my shoulder, yeah
Got problems with politicians on a mission
To always stitch you up
Get old but it doesn't get slower
Doesn't get slower, doesn't slower

My bad influence, bad influence, bad influence, bad influence

Keep saying I should take a vacation
Or maybe a relation, maybe a relationship
When you say my body is over
It won't be sober, it won't be sober, yeah
Tell myself I need a prescription
Or a physician, to get me through this
We've got some bad issues, bad issues, bad issues

My bad influence, bad influence, bad influence, bad influence
My bad influence, bad influence, bad influence, bad influence
