This track delves into the experiences and attitudes of youth who feel disregarded by society. The Black Lips portray characters who are products of broken homes, lack educational achievements, and live on society's fringes. They rebel against authority and societal norms, engaging in destructive behavior as a form of resistance or perhaps a cry for help. Despite their rebellious actions, they crave understanding, emphasizing that their actions are a result of their circumstances. The song serves as an anthem for misunderstood youth while also shedding light on societal issues like absent parents, education system failings, and the overmedication of young people.
Bad Kids
Lyrics
Bad kids, all my friends are bad kids
Product-of-no-dad kids
Kids like you and me
Bad kids, ain't-no-college-grad kids
Livin' life out on the skids
Kids like you and me
In class
We are a minority
Got no
Respect for authority
And won't
Play well with others
And steal
From all your mothers
They'll try
To give us pills
Oh wait
Give us all the pills
Go cry
Mom, I gotta go to court
Dad won't
Pay his child support
Well, you gotta understand
We only do these things because all we are is
Bad kids, all my friends are bad kids
Product-of-no-dad kids
Kids like you and me
Bad kids, ain't-no-college-grad kids
Livin' life out on the skids
Kids like you and me
At home
He throws a hissy fit
Time out
He doesn't give a shit
Got drunk
Off of grandmas schnaps
Got caught
Runnin' from the cops
Toilet
Paper on the yard
Six F's
On my report card
Smoke cigs
In the bathroom stall
Spray paint
A penis on the wall
Well, you gotta understand
We only do these things because all we are is
Bad kids, all my friends are bad kids
Product-of-no-dad kids
Kids like you and me
Bad kids, ain't-no-college-grad kids
Livin' life out on the skids
Kids like you and me
Like you and me
