You know I've always been a bad seed

Drifted every way the wind blows

Now I ain't got much to show

You know you reap just what you sow

Now I was born to be a loner

Tried to settle for a spell

Had an angel in my corner

Made her life a living hell

Bad seed

There's a darkness I can't hide

Bad seed

Too much pain to keep inside

Now there's no need to try and help me

I don't try to help myself

I cling to a losin' hand

Empty heart is all that's left

Bad seed

There's a darkness I can't hide

Bad seed

Too much pain to keep inside

You know I've always been a bad seed

Drifted every way the wind blows

Now I ain't got much to show

You know you reap just what you sow

Bad seed

There's a darkness I can't hide

Bad seed

Too much pain to keep inside

Bad seed

There's a darkness I can't hide

Bad seed

Too much pain to keep inside
