[Intro]
Bad, bad, bad boys

[Verse 1]
You say, you don't like my kind
A bitter picture in your mind
No, it don't matter what I say
I hear you bitching when I walk away
I'll never be what you want me to be
You tell me I'm wrong but I disagree
I haven't got no apology
Just because I don't look like you
Talk like you, think like you
Judge and jury, a hangman's noose
I see them in your eyes

[Chorus]
Good guys don't always wear white
Good guys don't always wear white

[Verse 2]
You judge a man who don't stand in line
Just because he isn't on your side
You know the man who wears those shoes
If you cut me don't I bleed like you? You know I do
I don't know what you've been told
Can't buy guts with a pot old gold
A rich man's poor if he got no soul
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, king
All that shit don't mean a thing
Do you know which one's behind those eyes?
It's all a disguise, just go away
