When a Kid Goes Bad

You got a different kind ofLook in your eyeSomething about youThat I don't recognizeThese things are talked aboutIn quiet tonesI never saw a personSo all aloneSome momma's cryin'Some daddy's sadWhen a kid goes badMakes you wonderWhat made him madWhen a kid goes badYou built for innocenceYou built for joySuddenly evil's all thatYou enjoyBut if you shoot at everyOne you see, well youCan't be my friend 'causeYou might shoot at meSome momma's cryin'Some daddy's sadWhen a kid goes badMakes you wonderWhat made him madWhen a kid goes badWhen a kid goes badWhen a kid goes badSomewhere along the wayDid we let you downDid you cry out for help andNone was aroundDon't try to tell meThat you don't know the scoreAre you so shut downYou can't feel anymore?Some momma's cryin'Some daddy's sadWhen a kid goes badMakes you wonderWhat made him madWhen a kid goes bad
