Bad kids

I used to be a bad kid
Used to be bad news
I used to get my kicks
Used to get in my moods

We used to get thrown out
We used to fuck around
Six drinks in the hole
And i’m still drinking now

But i’m okay this way
Even though it fades
It took me twenty-four years to say
Sometimes i think you’re the only good thing i’ve got
Steady up the reigns
You’re the hero
I know i’m not

And i’ve heard that diamonds are made
Under pressure and over time
And i’ve heard the fine words you say
Learned my lessons and drawn the line.
