Hey can I tell you a little story
About a bad man looking for glory
Oh he wasn't such a bad man
But he kindly let his fame seep into his brain
Hey can I tell you a little secret
You see the bad man he was a lot like me
Oh he had a little wisdom
But he traded it away for a fifteen-minute reign
Bad man walking
Bad man
Bad tongue talking
Hey can you spare a little sympathy
'Cause right now I think it's what i really need
Oh do you think you really know yourself
Are you sure what you might do if the choice was up to you
