"Bad Influence" Lyrics

Just because you play your music real loud
Just because you're running with a black leather crowd
Just because you dye your hair blue and red
Just because you got an idea in your head

They say that you're a bad influence
They say that you're a bad influence
They say you're way out of line
Bad influence
You know you're doing just fine
Bad influence, bad influence

Just because you pierce your nose or your lip
Just because you give your teachers a fit
Just because you sleep with your fender guitar
Just because you've gone a little too far

They say that you're a bad influence
They say that you're a bad influence
They say you're way out of line
Bad influence
You know you're doing just fine
Bad influence, bad influence

You're born too soon
And you're up too late
You'd really rather be in another state
Your mama takes you to a shrink
Trying to teach you how to think
Bad influence, bad influence

Just because you're wailing alien sounds
Just because you're always breaking new ground
Just because you're energized and you're high
Just because you'd like to spit in their eye

They say that you're a bad influence
They say that you're a bad influence
They say you're way out of line
Bad influence
You know you're doing just fine
Bad influence, bad influence

You know we need you as a bad influence
Bad influence
You're just ahead of your time
You're just ahead of your time
