Bad Kids

Song byLady Gaga

in AlbumBorn This Way

We don’t care what people say, we know the truth

Enough is enough of this horse shit

I am not a freak, I was born with my free gun.

Don't tell me I'm less than my freedom.

I’m a bitch, I’m a loser baby maybe I should quit

I’m a jerk, wish I had the money but I can’t find work

I’m a brat, I’m a selfish punk, I really should be smacked

My parents tried until they got divorced ‘cause I ruined their lives

[Chorus]

I’m a bad kid and I will survive

Oh I’m a bad kid, don’t know wrong from right

I’m a bad kid and this is my life

One of the bad kids, don’t know wrong from right

(This is my life)

Don’t be insecure if your heart is pure

You’re still good to me if you’re a bad kid baby

Don’t be insecure if your heart is pure

You’re still good to me if you’re a bad kid baby

A bad kid baby

(Don’t be insecure)

I’m a twit, degenerate young rebel and I’m proud of it

Pump your fist if you would rather mess up than put up with this

I’m a nerd, I chew gum and smoke in your face, I’m absurd

I’m so bad and I don’t give a damn, I love it when you’re mad

When you’re mad, when you’re mad.

[Chorus]

I’m a bad kid and I will survive

Oh I’m a bad kid, don’t know wrong from right

I’m a bad kid and this is my life

One of the bad kids, don’t know wrong from right

(This is my life)

Don’t be insecure if your heart is pure

You’re still good to me if you’re a bad kid baby

Don’t be insecure if your heart is pure

You’re still good to me if you’re a bad kid baby

A bad kid baby

(Don't be insecure)

I’m not that typical baby

I’m a bad kid like my mom and dad made me

I’m not that cool and you hate me

I’m a bad kid, that’s the way that they made me

I’m a bad kid I’m disastrous

Give me your money or I’ll hold my breath

I’m a bad kid and I will survive

One of the bad kids, don’t know wrong from right

Don’t be insecure if your heart is pure

You’re still good to me if you’re a bad kid baby

Don’t be insecure if your heart is pure

You’re still good to me if you’re a bad kid baby

A bad kid baby
