Bad Influence - The B-52's

Call it bad

My bad my bad influence

Big town holds me back

Big town skins my mind

Small minds wear me down

Spreadading salt on fertile ground

Honest pleasures now forsaken

Drastic measures to be taken

Can’t accept your difference

They call it bad influence

Free mind, free soul

It’s time for liberation to flow

Free mind, free soul

It’s time so let your future unfold

Call it bad

My bad my bad influence

Break out of the mold before the mold sets in

Dangerous walls are closin' in

They twist the truth

Then give it a spin

Love’s a grenade, I’ll pull the pin

Free mind, free soul

It’s time for liberation to flow

Free mind, free soul

It’s time so let your future unfold

The circle is wide

Shadows flower into the light

Bad influence

Bad such a bad influence

You think I’m bad

You think I’m bad

Well I’m the most fun that you ever had

So good, so good

But people say I’m a bad influence

Wide mouths, narrow minds

Can’t accept your difference

Open season on new ideas

They call it bad influence

Free mind, free soul

It’s time for liberation to flow

Free mind, free soul

It’s time so let your future unfold

My bad my bad influence

Just a bad influence

My bad my bad influence

Call it bad

My bad my bad influence

Wide mouths with narrow minds

Narrow minds, creak and grind

Rally to a peaceful sound

Let the barriers tumble down

My bad my bad influence

My bad my bad influence

Break out of the mold before the mold sets in

Dangerous walls are closin' in

They twist the truth

Then give it a spin

If love’s a grenade, better pull the pin!

Call it bad

My bad my bad influence
