|
There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street |
|
Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat |
|
You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight |
|
You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night |
|
Wow, kick it |
|
You're dancing in fire, baby |
|
When you're takin' it to the streets yeah to the streets |
|
Better watch your back baby, better be fast on your feet |
|
Yes on your feet |
|
'Cause they're wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin' |
|
Child you're gonna learn |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
If you know what I'm talkin' about |
|
What's that so say it again |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
In the dead of the night |
|
When you got nothin' baby |
|
You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose |
|
It's an eye for an eye baby |
|
And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth |
|
If you got nine lives you might survive |
|
'Cause nothings free on the other side |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
If you know what I'm talkin' about |
|
What's that so say it again |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
In the dead of the night |
|
Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin' just to stay alive |
|
I've got love for sale, yes for sale |
|
On the New York subway line |
|
Watch the working girls hanging out |
|
Turning tricks underneath the lights, oh the lights |
|
One step from hell the poor men sell their soul |
|
For a taste of wine |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
If you know what I'm talkin' about |
|
What's that so say it again |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
If you know what I'm talkin' about |
|
What's that so say it again |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
Bad to be good |
|
You gotta be bad to be good |
|
Bad to be good |
|
What's that so say it again |
|
When it's said and done and you're on the run |
|
And the only law comes under the gun |
