When a Kid Goes Bad - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

You got a different kinda look in your eye

Somethin’about you that I don’t recognize

These things are talked about in quiet tones

I never saw a person so all alone

Some mama’s cryin'

Some daddy’s sad

When a kid goes bad

Makes you wonder

What made him mad

When a kid goes bad

When a kid goes bad

You built for innocence, you built for joy

Suddenly evil’s all that you enjoy

But if you shoot at everyone you see

Well, you can’t be my friend 'cause you might shoot at me Some mama’s cryin'

Some daddy’s sad

When a kid goes bad

Make you wonder

What made him mad

When a kid goes bad

When a kid goes bad

Somewhere along the way did we let you down?

Did you cry out for help and none was around?

Don’t try to tell me that you don’t know the score

Are you so shut down you can’t feel anymore?

Some mama cryin'

Some daddy’s sad

When a kid goes bad

Make you wonder

What made him mad

When a kid goes bad

When a kid goes bad
