Bad Reputation

I'd like to say: Hello, dear god
I've got some questions that need an answer from you
Is the life I make, is it worth a dime?
I sure could use one to get me through, tonight

Chorus:Life seems better when you've got something to lose
This reputation from playing with fire x2
See I've been down here, with the scum of the earth
And I know that things aren't always what they seem
But if you lean me now, a helping hand
I'm sure that I'll make it on to the other side

Chorus:Life seems better when you've got something to lose
This reputation, we're playing with fire x2
With a baseball bat mid-swing
And a sorry excuse for? dream
But I took you in like a friend of mine
Held you tight, told you everything was fine
So forget the past, and make it last
Because everybody grows up way too fast

Chorus:Life seems better when you've got something to lose
This reputation, we're playing with fire x2
We're playing with fire!
