Time bomb where did it go wrong
Street fights in the city lights for you, who are you?
The uppercut from the upper class
I spilled my drink and I broke my glass for you, who are you?

You look fit but you ain't got it
Think you're a dog well you're just a bitch
I bet you'd like to take me for a ride

Sing loud all you people
We're fighting in the streets
Sing loud all you people
This city's killing me

With no money and the cupboard's bare
knew who I was and I didn't care for you, who are you?
The undercurrent of the underdog
Will wipe the floor with your suit and job you do, who are you?

You box clever like to box you hard
So what do you got without your credit card
Not a lot 'cause what you think you've got's not real

Sing loud all you people
We're fighting it in the streets
Sing loud all you people
This city's killing me

Time bomb where did it go wrong
Street fights and the city lights
For you, who are you?
The uppercut from the upper class
I spilled my drink and I broke my glass for you, who are you?

Sing loud all you people
We're fighting in the streets
Sing loud all you people
This city's killing me

Feels so good being bad (Oh oh oh oh oh)
There's no way I'm turning back (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Now the pain is my pleasure cause nothing could measure (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Love is great, love is fine (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Outta box, outta line (Oh oh oh oh oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Na na na na
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it (Na na na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it

Love is great, love is fine (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Outta box, outta line (Oh oh oh oh oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Na na na na
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it (Na na na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it

S-S-S & M-M-M
S-S-S & M-M-M

Oh, I love the feeling you bring to me, oh, you turn me on
It's exactly what I've been yearning for, give it to me strong
And meet me in my boudoir with my body suit on-on-on

I like it-like it

Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

Na na na na
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it

You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man

Well you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know…

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know…

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean

All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
Just come clean all around me
With your headbleeds and your nosebleeds, too
I don't see that there's a truth
In the way you're talking to me

But let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me, oh

Mister, I don't believe in you
Mister, I don't believe in you
With the way you're talking to me
Oh, it's so soothing

And let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me

Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

Listen to me
You pull me apart
And I know it wasn't you
'Cause you were not there
And why do you feel sorry?

Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
Why do you want to fall to pieces?
Let's give it a try
Let's keep it for truth
And come clean all around me
And come clean all around me

Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

Come clean all around me
Come clean all around me
Would you come clean all around me?
Just come clean all around me, oh

Everything I ever wanted
All that my heart could hope to possess
Filling my every waking moment
With contentment and happiness
In the evening he'd be waiting
I would go there anticipating

In the garden, past the fountain
Near the weeping willow tree
By the ivy covered arbor
My one and true love waits for me

As time past as it's inclined to
More and more I sensed a change
Subtle hints and indications
The torch I carried was all in vain
And so I said before you leave me
For old times sake will you meet me

In the garden, past the fountain
Near the weeping willow tree
By the ivy covered arbor
My one and true love waits for me

First I begged him then I pleaded
Sadly it was all to no avail
Then I reached inside my pocket
What happened next I can never tell
Is there still though no one knows it
Underneath a bed of roses

In the garden, past the fountain
Near the weeping willow tree
By the ivy covered arbor
My one and true love waits for me

In the garden, past the fountain
Near the weeping willow tree
By the ivy covered arbor
My one and true loves waits for me
