Lyrics
I've ignored and I've rejected
All their statements and their pleas
But I've been judged and blamed and tested
They have decided I am weak
Vows and vowels
That they plan for hours
And, oh God
There's a critic in my head
Bad, bad, bad
A corrector in my lap
Bad, bad, bad
And the judge will grab my waist
Spin me dizzy, blind, and say
"Bad, bad, bad case"
I have offered them my winnings
Living lost under their thumb
If I just somehow could be faultless
They swore I'd never feel alone
Vows and vowels
That they plan for hours
And, oh God, they sound like me
There's a critic in my head
Bad, bad, bad
A corrector in my lap
Bad, bad, bad
And the judge will grab my waist
Spin me dizzy, blind, and say
"Bad, bad, bad case"
Bad, bad, bad case
Bad, bad, bad
What if I tell myself something
Something my fear has forgotten?
Forgotten when to not listen
(There's a critic in my head)
Forgotten when to not listen
There's a critic in my head
Bad, bad, bad
A corrector in my lap
Bad, bad, bad
And the judge will grab my waist
Spin me dizzy, blind, and say
"Bad, bad, bad"
