Bad News
Unveiling the Dark Symphony: Decoding the Meaning Behind Status Quo's 'Bad News'
Lyrics
I was born in the middle of nowhere
I originated from a remote and insignificant place.
They found me in a sack
My discovery was unconventional or unwelcome.
I never knew no love or affection
I never experienced love or care.
So I never let it held me back
I didn't let the lack of affection hinder my progress.
Now the time has moved along
As time passed, I gained wisdom with age.
And I'm wiser as I'm older
I am well-balanced now.
Well balanced? That I am
Despite being balanced, I carry grudges or unresolved issues.
I've got a chip on each of my shoulders
I'm on a mission to convey the essence of the blues.
I'm on a mission to spread the word
Watch out for me, here comes Johnny!
Of the meaning of the blues
I am considered bad news.
So watch out now, here's Johnny!
Confirmation of being bad news.
Believe I'm bad news
Reiteration of being bad news.
Oh yes I am
Affirmation of being bad news.
Oh yes I am
Reiteration of being bad news.
I ain't got no heart to speak of
I lack compassion or empathy.
And my soul is black
My character is morally dark.
So I'll take yours for my own
I take advantage of others without remorse.
Don't ever ask me for them back
There's no intention of returning what I take.
Once I was good and true
I was once virtuous and genuine.
I even tried to become a believer
I attempted to embrace faith.
But I soon found out where I should be praying
I discovered deceit where I thought I should pray.
The Church of The Lying Deceiver
The place of worship is deceitful.
And when you think that I'm good to go
Despite appearing virtuous, I have ulterior motives.
I put on those walking shoes
I wear walking shoes to deceive and exploit others.
To find myself another sucker like you
I seek out new victims like you.
Believe I'm bad news
Confirmation of being bad news.
Hell yes I am
Affirmation of being bad news.
Believe I'm bad news
Confirmation of being bad news.
Oh yes I am
Reiteration of being bad news.
Oh yes I am
-And when you think that I'm good to go
Despite appearing virtuous, I have ulterior motives.
I put on those walking shoes
I wear walking shoes to deceive and exploit others.
To find myself another sucker like you
I seek out new victims like you.
Believe I'm bad news
Confirmation of being bad news.
Oh yes I am
Affirmation of being bad news.
Believe I'm bad news
Confirmation of being bad news.
Hell yes I am
Reiteration of being bad news.
Oh yes I am
