Bad Reputation

I'd like to say: Hello, dear god

I've got some questions that need an answer from you

Is the life I make, is it worth a dime?

I sure could use one to get me through, tonight

[Chorus:]

Life seems better when you've got something to lose

This reputation from playing with fire (2x)

See I've been down here, with the scum of the earth

And I know that things aren't always what they seem

But if you lean me now, a helping hand

I'm sure that I'll make it on to the other side

[Chorus:]

Life seems better when you've got something to lose

This reputation, we're playing with fire (2x)

With a baseball bat mid-swing

And a sorry excuse for ?? dream

But I took you in like a friend of mine

Held you tight, told you everything was fine

So forget the past, and make it last

Because everybody grows up way too fast

[Chorus:]

Life seems better when you've got something to lose

This reputation, we're playing with fire (2x)

We're playing with fire!

(2x)
