I was born in the middle of nowhere They found me in a sack I never knew no love or affection So I never let it held me back Now the time has moved along And I'm wiser as I'm older Well balanced? That I am I've got a chip on each of my shoulders I'm on a mission to spread the word Of the meaning of the blues So watch out now, here's Johnny! Believe I'm bad news Oh yes I am Oh yes I am I ain't got no heart to speak of And my soul is black So I'll take yours for my own Don't ever ask me for them back Once I was good and true I even tried to become a believer But I soon found out where I should be praying The Church of The Lying Deceiver And when you think that I'm good to go I put on those walking shoes To find myself another sucker like you Believe I'm bad news Hell yes I am Believe I'm bad news Oh yes I am Oh yes I am And when you think that I'm good to go I put on those walking shoes To find myself another sucker like you Believe I'm bad news Oh yes I am Believe I'm bad news Hell yes I am Oh yes I am
