My Name Is Billy Lyrics - Alan G.

Officer, I swear that I'm licensed to drive 

Flyin' down the freeway breakneck fast, an' 

Officer, I swear that I'm legal, no lie 

But lookin' guilty is the role I'm cast in 

They say my truck and my life are a wreck 

All the cops in town know my reputation 

Everybody thinks that I'm goin' to heck 

Everybody thinks I'm beyond salvation 

I'm no scoundrel sir 

That's just what you heard 

My name is Billy, and I don't believe in bein' good 

That's what they say cuz I don't act the way they think I should 

They shake their heads cuz I live a life that breaks the mold 

Callin' me wicked but I'm not, I'm just 16 years old 

But I guess someone's gotta wear the black hat 

My name is Billy, I'm bad, bad, bad, bad 

Principal, I swear I'm not tryin' to brag 

And you're the kind of guy that I admire 

Yeah I was makin' out in chemistry lab 

But I wasn't there when it caught on fire 

'K, that was me, but you ain't got the facts 

Really didn't mean to burn down the school, yeah 

Kids startin' crazy rumors behind my back 

I'm the one they say is a troubled fool, But 

How they judge is strange 

They want me to change 

My name is Billy, and I don't believe in bein' good 

That's what they say cuz I don't act they way they think I should 

Don't tell me nothin' 'bout the laws or what you 'xpect of me 

I'm just a boy who knows things aren't always what they seem 

But I guess someone's gotta wear the black hat 

My name is Billy, I'm bad, bad, bad, bad 

Reverend, I swear there ain't no need to fear 

Clearly you can see my heart's in the right place 

I'm sure they warned you this would be kinda queer 

Like chattin' up the devil face to face 

But let me tell ya somethin' - You have been played 

I'm a good boy, really deep down I am 

People say mean things when they are afraid 

Lyin' when they just don't understand, Some 

Folks just don't feel strong 

'Til they call someone wrong 

They need an enemy 

It might as well be me 

My name is Billy, and I don't believe in bein' good 

That's what they say cuz I don't act the way they think I should 

They shake their heads cuz I live a life that breaks the mold 

Callin' me wicked but I'm not, I'm just 16 years old 

But I guess someone's gotta wear the black hat 

My name is Billy, I'm bad, bad, bad, bad 

My name is Billy, and I don't believe in bein' good 

That's what they say cuz I don't act they way they think I should 

Don't tell me nothin' 'bout the laws or what you 'xpect of me 

I'm just a boy who knows things aren't always what they seem 

But I guess someone's gotta wear the black hat 

My name is Billy, I'm bad, bad, bad, bad 

Things ain't always what they seem Bad, bad, bad, bad 

But for now, I'll be Bad, bad, bad, bad
