Lyrics
Bodies without minds
I hear you're the ones with the bleeding hearts
Blue and bittersweet
You tear my dreams apart
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it? Yeah
The damned don't cry
Cry out when they're betrayed
Bodies slam, they scream
As the keynote fades
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it? Whoo
I called my mother from Hollywood the other day
And I said, "Mom, I just called to tell ya I joined a rock and roll band"
"And, uh, I won't be coming home no more"
You know what she did?
She started crying and weeping and whimpering like all mothers do
She woke up my father and told him about it and he said
"There ain't a damn thing we can do, that's the way she is"
"Hey, you know, she was just, uh, born to be bad"
Yeah, I want you to bring me his ears
To satisfy my mad desires
And if he bites the dust
Well, you just have to miss my fire, whoo
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it?
