lyrics

Momma said we need a hobby so we picked up smokin'
(We) never use a rubber cuz they always end up broken.
We go to the church for the taste of cheap wine.

We got the kind of faces no mother could love.
Bad tattoos in places you don't want to think of.
You say we're worse than bad. Well, that's just fine.


Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la
Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la
We make piss taste smooth and sweet.
We're the mold to your meat


(Bad News Brothers)
We're the reason why you lose
(Bad News Brothers)
We're the rich man's blues
(Dog-faced lovers)
We just can't help but say that
today's a good day for bad news.


The day we were born, Papa said we looked old.
The plaque on our teeth was the closest we had to gold.
We got no lovers or friends, just lice and fleas


Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la
Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la
We're the reason why you drink.
Don't swim, just sink to our level

(Bad News Brothers)
We're the reason why you lose
(Bad News Brothers)
We're the rich man's blues
(Dog-faced lovers)
We just can't help but say that
today's a good day for bad news.


Sons of Satan need the Devil's daughters
We'll be the fever to your hot and bothered.
So come on down, so come on down
to the dark and dirty South.
Like a bitch, we're the itch that never leaves.
We rip the heart right off of your sleeve.
Honey, don't worry.
Why you in a hurry to
run back home up North?

Drink up


Nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah ladi-dadi-da bah
bah-boom Bah.
Bah-ooga. Muh-a-e-a-e-oogah.

Nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah ladi-dadi-da bah
bah-boom Bah.
Bah-ooga. Muh-a-e-a-e-oo
juh-boo-boo
Boom. Pow
Boom. Pow.


We make piss taste smooth and sweet.
We're the mold to your rotten meat.
We're the reason why you drink.
Don't swim just sink.

(Bad News Brothers)
We're the reason why you lose
(Bad News Brothers)
We're the rich man's blues
(Dog-faced lovers)
We just can't help but say that
today's a good day for bad news.

(Bad News Brothers)
We're the worst, we're the worst
(Bad News Brothers)
We're the worst, we're the worst
(Dog-faced lovers)
We just can't help but say that
today's a good day to be bad in the worst way
So shut up and make way for bad news.
