Bad News - Static-P

Hareka came to me in private, looking a little uneasy

She began talking about their rise to fame (Ah, ah)

It was their first show, a charity gig

While they were there, a man named Nori introduced himself to them

Ahem

Hello hello (Ah, ah)

So, you want to know (Yeah)

How to get from the bottom to the top

Well, listen up.

Here we go

Welcome to the show (Yeah)

By the way — just thought you should know

Everything’s rigged

Oh oh~

Everything’s rigged

But don’t you give up hope

'Cause I believe that you and me

If we work together we can change things

This whole idol industry is just for gambling

Isn’t this a crime against humanity?

Take a look.

Open up your eyes and see

How beautiful this world was made to be

Now, take a look, cast your gaze upon this world in danger

How vulnerable it is to human dreams

Some people dream.

They dream evil, darling

Baby, they’re bad news bad news.

They’re bad news

Some people dream and seem satisfied

But they’re not, it’s just bad news

Shoot for the sky.

I-I-I-I'm with ya 'cause you’re

Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news

People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

(Ha, yeah)

I’ve been working on the inside and I’ve

Worked with those who run the show

So, take this paper note

I’ve secured your group a spot to perform (Heh)

And here’s the results for when you go (Yeah)

You’ll find the scores of each group to be just as I wrote

Shh~

I know that it’s all unbelievable

But shh~ stay calm and be quiet (Quiet)

Since, now, you’ve confirmed the scores to be just as I wrote

I hope you’ll help me secretly fight it

Some people dream.

They dream evil, darling

Baby, they’re bad news bad news.

They’re bad news

Some people dream and seem satisfied

But they’re not, it’s just bad news

Shoot for the sky.

I’m with ya 'cause you’re

Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news

People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

Some people dream.

(Ah) They dream evil, darling

Baby, they’re bad news bad news.

They’re bad news

Some people dream (ah ah~) and seem satisfied (Ah, ah)

But they’re not, it’s just bad news

Shoot for the sky-y-y-y.

I’m with ya 'cause you’re

Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news

People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

Do you mean it was rigged from the start?

She said

Do you think this will ruin my heart?

No

I don’t need some stranger telling me what my score is

I don’t need some vain inflation of dopamine from them

Isn’t it the same even if it’s all rigged in the end?

'Cause their scores will never change who I am

And what I’ve put in

I don’t need some stranger telling me what my score is (No! No!)

I don’t need some vain inflation of dopamine from them

Isn’t it the same even if it’s all rigged in the end?

'Cause their scores will never change who I am

And what I’ve put in

Some people dream.

They dream evil, darling

Baby, they’re bad news bad news.

They’re bad news

Some people dream (ah) and seem satisfied

But they’re not, it’s just bad news

Shoot for the sky.

I-I-I-I'm with ya 'cause you’re

Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news

People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

Some people dream.

They dream evil, darling

Baby, they’re bad news bad news.

They’re bad news

Some people dream (ah~) and seem satisfied (Ah, ah)

But they’re not, it’s just bad news

Shoot for the sky.

I-I-I-I'm with ya 'cause you’re

Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news
