[verse 1]
Grimly fiendish plays the game that never pays
Sung out loud but never prayed
Grimly fiendish wears a coat that's black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong
Simply fiendish, a child caught in a grown up world
No lies convince the court

[pre-Chorus]
Once a week I could be found on the faces all the frowns
Hide and seek, tried so hard and just to find a crime to pay
Just for today

(chorus)
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy

[bridge]
Let me put the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take
You didn't make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dreams
[verse 2]
Grimly fiendish, we'll send you just where you belong
Where the children can't be found

[pre-Chorus]
And just to find a crime to pay
Just for today

[verse 3]
Grimly fiendish we'll send you just where you belong
Where the children can't be found
Goodbye-bye-bye-bye...
Hide & seek tried so hard
And just to find a crime to pay
Just for today

[Chorus]
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
Bad lad bad boy
