bad kidz

marina & the diamonds

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 fee-ee-eet

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
