(because we are) Bad Boys

About growing up, written at the age of 16 in 1995

By Christian BassPublished 4 months ago 2 min read

Years ago we left the apartment

The room with Mickey Mouse on the carpet

And made hot parties on the meadow

Where we tried to escape our dark shadow

With no future in our hometown

We had to follow our own rock and roll sound

So tell me why you wanna make us bust

It doesn't matter if we lose your trust

.

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, mother!

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, father!

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, brother!

*

And now we don't miss the apartment

The room with Mickey Mouse on the carpet

While we are celebrating our hiding-place

So you better spare us your lying face

We've learned the truth about parents don't care

When their kids are facing a terrifying nightmare

So tell you why you wanna make us bust

It doesn't matter if we lose your trust

.

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, mother!

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, father!

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, brother!

*

We don't care what we're talking about

We don't care what we do

So father please don't come begging 'round

There's nothing else to do

.

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, mother!

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, father!

Because we are the bad boys

So we are the bad boys

We are the bad boys, brother!

Protection for the gang in our nation

Don't scare the faces at the station

It's not about races, different faces

They're out to thrill the nation

To change the human relations

They're respectable, just unbreakable

Don't escape from your sorrow

Fight for a better tomorrow!

*

Life is a constant battle between good and evil, success and failure, happiness and unhappiness; no matter if all our decisions are right or wrong, they all will lead us and guide us on the path we have to create and walk down to become the human being we deserve to be. This book - With love form the Golden Cage - is about the beginning of my path, my struggle, my love and my inner demons. This is where my journey has started.
