BADMAN
(J. Perahia, M. O'Mara)

I've been bad since I can remember
Ragged flags and signals in my mind
The public' eye's on my confession
A strange obsession sends the ratings high
They're gone sky high

I hear 'em saying
The home fires are burning again
I'm never coming back
With a sigh of relief

Well, I'm a Badman
Yeah I'm a bad, badman
Brought up right, with an urge inside me
Yeah, 'cause I'm a badman
Yeah, I'm a bad, bad man
Locked up tight in the walls around me

Movie deals and wheels are spinning
The magazines print every word I say
By satellite, I tried to reach you
Whoever said, "Crime does not pay"?

I hear 'em saying:
The voices, they're calling again
I hear 'em coming back
I'm not afraid to deceive

'Cause I'm a badman
Yeah I'm a bad, bad man
Brought up right, with an urge inside me
'Cause I'm a badman
Yeah I'm a bad, bad man
Locked up tight in the walls around me
Oh-I'm a badman
I'm a bad, bad man
Brought up right, with an urge inside me
'Cause I'm a badman
Yeah I'm a bad, bad man
Locked up tight in the world around me
Hey, I'm a bad man
