I Lyrics by Bad Brains

Banned in DC: Bad Brains Greatest Riffs

1982

[Verse 1]
Not as much but with such intensity
I'd like to be what they would not want me to be
I like to cram their chivalry inside their guts
I'd like to leave it all behind with the rest of the nuts
I, oh

[Verse 2]
Not as much but with more feeling now
I'd like to forget about you and try to break it somehow
I'd like to push it aside until I can see some more
I'd like to leave you where I found you lying on the floor
I, oh

[Chorus]
I guess it's too bad, I guess its too bad
I guess it's too bad, too bad for you!
I guess it's too bad, I guess its too bad
I guess it's too bad, too bad for you!

[Chorus]
I guess it's too bad, I guess its too bad
I guess it's too bad, too bad for you!
I guess it's too bad, I guess its too bad
I guess it's too bad, too bad for you!

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
It seems the truth always prevails on your face
And in the end I see what's in its place
So in the future you just may see
That's what you'll receive is what you gave to me
I, oh, oh
