Lyrics

Well, here I go--I'm on the run again
Gotta get myself away from this place
'Cause I just hurt somebody--they're gonna put me in jail
And everybody here can recognize my face

CHORUS:
Don't call me... good-for-nothin'
Be careful of the words that you choose
'Cause I've always been--hah!-- bad-for-nothin'
Since the day I was born, I been nothin' but bad news

LEAD SOLO to verse

So here I am...just trying to stay alive
Now I hear somebody outside my hotel door
Gotta jump out of the window--or I'll wind up in jail
Sometimes I feel like I can't take no more!

CHORUS:2
Don't call me... good-for-nothin'
Be careful of the words that you choose
'Cause I've always been--hah!-- bad-for-nothin'
No one pays me to win... or to lose
Since the day I was born, I been nothin' but bad news
