Now that you have joined the cause
You act as though you're owed applause
Is this your fight or are these bragging rights?

Don't pretend you really care
All you've changed is what you wear,
What you say, and who you turn away

You think you're bad (so bad)
With the flag that you've been waving (so bad)
With the world you think you're saving (so bad)
Is it a fight that you are craving?
Maybe it's just food

Are you a bad enough dude
To carry a torch, to ignite a feud
To change the whole world when you change your mood
It's hard to conclude
Are you bad or just rude?

Can you honestly afford
To spend your life a sandwich board
Your thick skin is only t-shirt thin

Your enormous sense of pride
Is just another place to hide
Let it go - your life is not for show

You think you're bad (so bad)
With the people you've been taunting (so bad)
And the message that you're flaunting (so bad)
But is the change that you've been wanting
All just attitude?

Are you a bad enough dude
To carry a torch - to ignite a feud
To change the whole world when you change your mood
If I might intrude
I think you're just some prude

You think you're bad (so bad)
It could almost be inspiring (so bad)
But from you it's only tiring (so bad)
If it's attention you're desiring
Maybe you're just screwed

Are you a bad enough dude
To carry a torch, to ignite a feud
To change the whole world when you change your mood
It's hard to conclude
Are you bad or just rude?
