Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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' out on the skids
Kids like you and me
[Verse 2]
(In class)
We are 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
(Don't cry)
Mom, I gotta go to court
(Dad won't)
Pay his child support
[Verse 3]
Well, you gotta understand
We only do these things because
Oh, we are
[Verse 4]
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' out on the skids
Kids like you and me
[Verse 5]
(At home)
He throws a hissy fit
(Time out)
He don't give a shit
(Got drunk)
Off grandma's schnapps
(Got caught)
Runnin' from the cops
(Toilet)
Paper in your yard
(Six F's)
On my report card
(Smoke cigs)
In the bathroom stall
(Spray paint)
A penis on the wall
[Verse 6]
Well, you gotta understand
We only do these things because
Oh, we are
[Verse 7]
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' out on the skids
Kids like you and me
Like you and me
