Bad Seed
Last thing in the world anybody thought
Was that the politician’s daughter’d get caught Smoking pot
She had the windows rolled down
You could smell her from a mile away
So her folks sent her off up to finishing school
They said to get an education
Learn to live by the rules
And everybody back home wagged their tongues Saying “what a shame”

She was just a bad seed
Living out her wild dreams
That girl is nothing but trouble
Bringing shame to the family name
She’s gonna learn the hard way
Life ain’t a party
Yeah whatever comes to her
She’s only got herself to blame

Well she met a wild-haired boy there
They liked the same things
He played the guitar
She discovered she could sing
They were a couple of crazy kids
Head over heels in love
Late one night he got a wild idea
He said you ever been out West?
We could drive there from here
And they were looking at the Hollywood sign
When the sun came up

Chorus

Well as the story goes there was this karaoke bar
Just happened to be an agent
Said he would make her a star
She went straight to number one with the very first record she made
Now all the folks back home
They’re glued to their tubes
Watching the politician’s daughter
Making headline news
Biting their tongues
Remembering what they used to say

They said that she was just a BAD SEED…
