Bad Reputation

I’d like to say: Hello, dear god
I’ve got some questions that need an answer from you
Is the life I make, is it worth a dime?
I sure could use one to get me through, tonight
Life seems better when you’ve got something to lose
This reputation from playing with fire
See I’ve been down here, with the scum of the earth
And I know that things aren’t always what they seem
But if you lean me now, a helping hand
I’m sure that I’ll make it on to the other side
Life seems better when you’ve got something to lose
This reputation, we’re playing with fire
With a baseball bat mid-swing
And a sorry excuse for? dream
But I took you in like a friend of mine
Held you tight, told you everything was fine
So forget the past, and make it last
Because everybody grows up way too fast
Life seems better when you’ve got something to lose
This reputation, we’re playing with fire
We’re playing with fire!
