Bad News Lyrics by Static-P

Criminal Idol - Season 1

2019

[Intro: Detective]
Hareka came to me in private, looking a little uneasy
She began talking about their rise to fame (Ah, ah)
It was their first show, a charity gig
While they were there, a man named Nori introduced himself to them

[Verse 1: Nori]
Ahem
Hello hello (Ah, ah)
So, you want to know (Yeah)
How to get from the bottom to the top
Well, listen up. Here we go

Welcome to the show (Yeah)
By the way – just thought you should know
Everything's rigged
Oh oh~
Everything's rigged
But don't you give up hope

'Cause I believe that you and me
If we work together we can change things
This whole idol industry is just for gambling
Isn't this a crime against humanity?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Take a look. Open up your eyes and see
How beautiful this world was made to be
Now, take a look, cast your gaze upon this world in danger
How vulnerable it is to human dreams

[Chorus]
Some people dream. They dream evil, darling
Baby, they're bad news bad news. They're bad news
Some people dream and seem satisfied
But they're not, it's just bad news
Shoot for the sky. I-I-I-I'm with ya 'cause you're
Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news
People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

(Ha, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I've been working on the inside and I've
Worked with those who run the show
So, take this paper note
I've secured your group a spot to perform (Heh)
And here's the results for when you go (Yeah)
You'll find the scores of each group to be just as I wrote

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Shh~
I know that it's all unbelievable
But shh~ stay calm and be quiet (Quiet)
Since, now, you've confirmed the scores to be just as I wrote
I hope you'll help me secretly fight it

[Chorus]
Some people dream. They dream evil, darling
Baby, they're bad news bad news. They're bad news
Some people dream and seem satisfied
But they're not, it's just bad news
Shoot for the sky. I'm with ya 'cause you're
Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news
People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

Some people dream. (Ah) They dream evil, darling
Baby, they're bad news bad news. They're bad news
Some people dream (ah ah~) and seem satisfied (Ah, ah)
But they're not, it's just bad news
Shoot for the sky-y-y-y. I'm with ya 'cause you're
Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news
People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

[Bridge: Hareka (as spoken by Detective)]
Do you mean it was rigged from the start?
She said
Do you think this will ruin my heart?
No

I don't need some stranger telling me what my score is
I don't need some vain inflation of dopamine from them
Isn't it the same even if it's all rigged in the end?
'Cause their scores will never change who I am
And what I've put in

I don't need some stranger telling me what my score is (No! No!)
I don't need some vain inflation of dopamine from them
Isn't it the same even if it's all rigged in the end?
'Cause their scores will never change who I am
And what I've put in

[Chorus]
Some people dream. They dream evil, darling
Baby, they're bad news bad news. They're bad news
Some people dream (ah) and seem satisfied
But they're not, it's just bad news
Shoot for the sky. I-I-I-I'm with ya 'cause you're
Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news
People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright

Some people dream. They dream evil, darling
Baby, they're bad news bad news. They're bad news
Some people dream (ah~) and seem satisfied (Ah, ah)
But they're not, it's just bad news
Shoot for the sky. I-I-I-I'm with ya 'cause you're
Trouble for bad news: bad news for bad news
People like you dream dreams that make the world shine bright
