Lyrics

He got:
Fired from his job at Chuck E Cheese
when he cursed at little boys
'cause their momma wouldn't say no
Stabbed by his buddy in the back
when he bought some contraband
tried to sell it to the po po
Caught by a vigilante group
when he tried to get it on
with a 12-year-old baby
Punched by his father in the face
when he tried to prove a point
by knocking down his old lady
uh oh uh oh oh no
uh oh uh oh--oh
He got:
Broke driving big old SUV's
all around the ATL
makin' tons of toxic gases
F's when he wouldn't even show
and would never do the work
for the 'spensive college classes
Hit by another speeding truck
when he thought he'd take a chance
and run another freakin' red light
Hurt when he wound up in a chase
and he didn't want to die
but didn't stop to think the cop might
uh oh uh oh oh no
uh oh uh oh--oh
CHORUS
He's not a bad boy
he’s not a bad boy
he's not a bad boy
he's not a bad boy
he’s not a bad boy
he’s not a bad boy
he’s not a bad boy
he’s just misunderstood
He was:
Hit by a bully as a kid
broke his nose and made it big
people say it turned him ugly
Fat when he caught that weird disease
couldn't get up out of bed
ended up so big and cuddly
Scarred by that funny metal brace
had to wear around his head
just to keep his crooked teeth straight
Floored when he lost all the control
of his anal sphincter when
he finally went out on his first date
uh oh uh oh oh no
uh oh uh oh--oh
He was:
Sad when his kitty ran away
and he looked for him for days
finally found him in the gutter
Mad when he got in front of class
just to give a little speech
and couldn't talk without a stutter
Stunned when his Christmas present died
didn't know there was a bird
inside the box until he shook it
Nice til his innocence was lost
when his drunken uncle came
for a visit and then took it
