My old teacher, even the preacher
Told us that we were a pain
We're good for nothing, up to something
Our pranks drove them insane

Always wheeling, always dealing
We're strangers to honor and shame
Out all night to steal and fight
Ready to get in the game

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
(Bad boys) I am one of you

The ground will be shaking, glass will be breaking
In Sheriff Street later tonight
When you're out dancing, sweetly romancing
We'll be flying as high as a kite

Get out of our way or you'll have to pray
That you wake up in some other place
And when morning comes, when I go to my mom's
Then it's me who gets slapped in the face

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
(Bad boys) Yes, we are the

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
(Bad boys) I am one of you

Sometimes I wish I could go straight
Get rid of all this raging hate
But night comes 'round, blood starts to boil
And I hear the shout

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
(Bad boys) We are the

(Bad boys) Lying and cheating
(Bad boys) Robbing and beating
(Bad boys) Crying and bleeding
(Bad boys) I am one of you

(Bad boys)
