Bad Man

Lyrics

Rhodes
 Felt unwanted and rejected as a child
 Was always evil talkin', dirty and running wild
 Caught red-handed thieving hubcaps as a teen
 Judge was lenient when you told him you'd go clean
 One year's probation just added to your frustration
 But a bad man's gotta pay once in a while
 Did your utmost to perfect the perfect crime
 Was apprehended in the phone booth stealing dimes
 Tried a thousand schemes and nothing made you rich
 Well every endeavor never fails to have a hitch
 Here's the place be quick it's time to face the music
 Cause the bad man's gotta steal to stay alive
 Now you're low and low is wearing mighty thin
 Yes you're low, you're high and then you're low again
 You have precisely half a dozen phony names
 You've got no mercy and Lord knows you got no shame
 There's no one home now can't you see the house is dark
 Driveway's empty where a car is usually parked
 Now's the time to go through any unlocked window
 Cause a bad man's gotta earn a living too
 Now you're down and down and down is where they have you pinned
 Yes you're down, you're up and then you're down again
