I ain't the gatekeeper, I ain't the judge,
I ain't the one didn't love you enough,
I'm just sittin' in my own front yard,
Wishin' the rain didn't fall so hard,
And you got twisted, you got stuck,
Enlisted in your own bad luck,
Tried your best to be the worst,
You must like it that you're cursed.

And don't think it won't come back to you.

Bad people don't come from nothing at all,
Bad people don't come from nothing at all,
Crash and a bang and a burn and a fall,
Bad people don't come from nothing at all.

Jimmy was a broken boy, single ma out of Illinois,
Bred like a pitbull, lookin' for a fight,
Cracked on his nose, he was bloody all his life,
Got a loneliness like an epidemic,
Now, he cashed his check and he won't regret it,
Ain't no lovers left or friend,
Self defined as a dead end.

And don't think he ain't a part of you.

Bad people don't come from nothing at all,
Bad people don't come from nothing at all,
Crash and a bang and a burn and a fall,
Bad people don't come from nothing at all.

Oh baby, tell me what you need,
Come on and lay it on me,
I don't care what you believe,
We all got some darkness up our sleeves,
Yeah, we all got some darkness up our sleeve.

Some pull us down and some pull us through,
Baby, it's a toss up how you do,
Maybe someone decides for you,
Maybe you don't even get to choose.

And I, I don't know what's best for you.

Bad people don't come from nothing at all,
Bad people don't come from nothing at all,
Crash and a bang and a burn and a fall,
Bad people don't come from nothing.

Bad people,
Don't come from nothing at all,
Don't come from nothing at all.
