Bad Habit Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, man, you know I'm really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I'm in my car, don't give me no crap
’Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap

[Verse 1]
When I go driving, I stay in my lane
But getting cut off, it makes me insane
I open the glove box, reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

[Chorus]
I guess I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)
Of blowin' away (Yeah, yeah)
I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, oh

[Verse 2]
They say the road's a dangerous place
If you flip me off, I'll get in your face
If you drive on my ass, your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last

[Chorus]
I guess I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)
Of blowin' away (Yeah, yeah)
I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker!

[Refrain]
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

[Chorus]
I guess I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)
Of blowin' away (Yeah, yeah)
I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, oh

What did The Offspring say about "Bad Habit"?

It’s a song about this guy with a bad habit – he drives around shooting people on the freeway. That’s sarcasm. It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at, I dunno, psychosis. It’s not the real thing. Parents still had a problem with it. Like kids are going to hear it and suddenly think it’s OK to go driving on the highway shooting people. Have some faith in your kids. If your kids don’t know the difference, why don’t they know the difference?

–Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman
