You practiced hard, and bought a new guitar you hold dear

But the second gig you played, and left it on the stage it disappeared

 

When all it takes is one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch,

it leaves a bitter taste

All the best of intentions by the 99%,

Will all be laid to waste

 

A quiet night, no reason to drive like a fool

But someone’s going way too fast, and just about to crash into you

 

When all it takes is one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch,

it leaves a bitter taste

All the best of intentions by the 99%,

Will all be laid to waste

 

And this is why we can’t have nice things

Somebody always wants much more, than they’ll ever bring

 

You wanna lead, and have a few ideas that are good

But you’re first day on the job, somebody drops a bomb on the world

When all it takes is one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch,

it leaves a bitter taste

All the best of intentions by the 99%,

Will all be laid to waste
