Bad News T.F.

Hey, I’ve never been a good boy
I never even tried
I like to watch my days go by

But darling I can stand, yeah
I can stand it

Bad news travels fast
Bad news travels fast
Bad news travels fast
Don’t you know I’m gone
I’m gone

Goodbye!

I just want my freedom
Ooh, the right to be a man
I may be down
But darling I can stand, yeah
I can stand on my feet

Bad news travels fast
Bad news travels fast, yeah
Bad news travels fast
Don’t you know I’m gone
Yeah!

Bad news travels fast
Don’t you know I’m gone
Yeah!

Bad news
Bad news
Bad news
Bad news
Bad news travels fast
Now I’m…
