Lyrics

Bad Man's World

[Chorus]

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

[Verse 1]

Was I born as a promise to keep the peace

Or meet the shame

Before you split, one thing left

To give me my ordinary name

Give me my ordinary name

[Verse 2]

Now that I'm still standing

I've got something left to prove

Got a bullet left, but I can't decide

Which scorpion I'm gonna shoot

Will it be me, will it be you?

[Chorus]

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

I'm a bad, bad girl

It's a bad man's world

[Verse 3]

I will never forgive you

For what you put us kids through

Remember that night

You tried to take your own life?

When I found you

You were a shade of blue

And success is a state of mind

With a little bit of follow through

And then you failed at that too

[Chorus]

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

I'm a bad, bad girl

It's a bad man's world

[Bridge]

Will it be me, will it be you?

[Chorus]

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

It's a bad man's world

I'm a bad, bad girl

It's a bad man's world
