[Intro] Yeah, yeah—bad idea Uh, don't ask who let us in [Verse 1] You said, "Behave," I said, "Define it" Walked in clean, then redesigned it Two left feet but the room still slides Pocket full of sparks and a grin too wide No backstage pass, just a bad disguise Your best-laid plan got a cheap surprise I point one finger, the whole crew turns One little match and the rulebook burns [Pre-Chorus] Quick, quick, count it up Tick, tick, bottle up Hands go high, heads go low If it's too smart, let it go Say it—say it—don't think twice Roll that dice, roll that dice [Chorus] Bad idea! (Bad idea!) Bad idea! (Yeah, yeah!) Should've left, but we came inside Now the whole damn room is a bad idea Bad idea! (Run it back!) Bad idea! (Talk your trash!) One more round, let the good sense hide Everybody yell: bad idea! [Verse 2] I got a list, but I lost that list Got a clean white shirt with a cheap red kiss Your friend said, "No," then she changed her mind Now she's throwing elbows on the one-two time No VIP, still we own that rail Low battery, but the stories won't fail If tomorrow asks, say you don't know me Tonight's too loud for a testimony [Pre-Chorus] Quick, quick, count it up Tick, tick, bottle up Hands go high, heads go low If it's too smart, let it go Say it—say it—don't think twice Roll that dice, roll that dice [Chorus] Bad idea! (Bad idea!) Bad idea! (Yeah, yeah!) Should've left, but we came inside Now the whole damn room is a bad idea Bad idea! (Run it back!) Bad idea! (Talk your trash!) One more round, let the good sense hide Everybody yell: bad idea! [Bridge] Cut the lights—hold that breath No advice, no safety net One beat, two—then lose control If we go down, we go down bold [Final Chorus] Bad idea! (Bad, bad!) Bad idea! (Say it loud!) Should've left, but we came inside Now the whole damn room is a bad idea Bad idea! (Bad, bad!) Bad idea! (Hands up high!) One more round, let the good sense hide Everybody yell: bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea!—that's right! [Outro] Don't call it a mistake Call it what it is Bad idea
