We came to an agreement in good health                                  That if no-one would take care of us we’d be fine by ourselves                              It was time to cut the views       Of those who don’t deserve our spit           Why is it that we crave the praise        From the people who least deserve it?                      If you gave us a flower     We’d sit and we’d water it     But instead we watch you weave your web                     And you wait for us to fly into it   You act like you’re a strong ant           We all act like we’re weak         If only you’d quit trying to cripple      Our dancing feet     whispers no chords: give and forgive Bad kids Bad kids Slip through your hands like liquid       Bad kids Bad kids   Vanish when you shut your eyelids    They’ll vanish when you shut your eyelids                       Thinking of it is painful It’s better to accept it all       Thinking of all the mothers and the daughters And the fathers and the sons        Who are waiting for a call            That says "I didn’t mean it           I love you for who you are.          Whether you make it in this sick industry or not;                   You’ll always be my special star."         He said "If I became a pretty flower Would you sit and talk to me? Oh my roots my roots are getting old             and I’m getting I’m getting I’m getting lonely lonely!" I’d play Superman I’d make you feel safe So why are you disappointed?             Everything I did for you means nothing          ’Cause you turned out to be wicked         Bad kids Bad kids Vanish when you shut your eyelids        Bad kids Bad kids Slip off your skin like liquid Yeah they slip off your skin like liquid         I’m the tangled ball of string I’m the criminal you’re the victim        I am the cat and you are the mouse            and I am the milkmaid that killed all the cows                So am I the oil to stain your skin?               Am I the storm that sank your ship?                  You are the horse and I: the cart              Persue persue persue    It’s not me it’s not me it’s not me it’s not me single strum that broke your heart that broke your heart    that broke your heart     that broke your heart

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion face aux relations et aux attentes des autres. Elle explore la lutte entre la recherche de validation et la nécessité de s'accepter soi-même, même si cela signifie se détourner des opinions négatives de ceux qui ne nous valorisent pas. Il est question de l’idée que, malgré les blessures et les déceptions, il est primordial de rester fidèle à soi-même et de s’élever au-dessus des jugements extérieurs. Le texte fait écho à un contexte où les jeunes, souvent qualifiés de "mauvais", cherchent à se libérer des contraintes imposées par une société qui les rejette. Cette lutte pour la reconnaissance et l'authenticité soulève des questions sur la nature des relations familiales et amicales, et rappelle l’importance de l’amour inconditionnel, celui qui devrait transcender les échecs et les imperfections.
