Call it bad
   My bad my bad influence
  
   Big town holds me back
   Big town skinns my mind
   Small minds wear me down
   Spreadading salt on fertile ground
   Honest pleasures now forsaken
   Drastic measures to be taken
   Can't accept your difference
   They call it bad influence
  
   CHORUS
   Free mind, free soul
   It's time for liberation to flow
   Free mind, free soul
   It's time so let your future unfold
  
   Call it bad
   My bad my bad influence
  
   Break out of the mold before the mold sets in
   Dangerous walls are closin' in
   They twist the truth
   Then give it a spin
   Love's a grenade, I'll pull the pin
  
   CHORUS
  
   The circle is wide
   Shadows flower into the light
  
   Bad influence
   Bad such a bad influence
   You think I'm bad
   You think I'm bad
   Well I'm the most fun that you ever had
   So good, so good
   But people say I'm a bad influence
  
   Wide mouths, narrow mnds
   Can't accept your difference
   Open season on new ideas
   They call it bad influence
  
   CHORUS
  
   My bad my bad influence
  
   Just a bad influence
   My bad my bad influence
  
   Call it bad
   My bad my bad influence
  
   Wide mouths with narrow minds
   Narrow minds, creak and grind
   Rally to a peaceful sound
   Let the barriers tumble down
  
   My bad my bad influence
   My bad my bad influence
  
   Break out of the mold before the mold sets in
   Dangerous walls are closin' in
   They twist the truth
   Then give it a spin
  
   If love's a grenade, better pull the pin!
  
   Call it bad
   My bad my bad influence
