Hanging Out with All the Wrong People Songtext

von Billy Talent

Well, it was many moons ago
That I just did what I was told
When I was hanging out with all the wrong people
I stole a car, I robbed a bank
I siphoned gas out of a tank
I made decisions some would call illegal

It all came catching up to me
Tight at the age of 23
I met the consequence of reckless ego
They cuffed my hands, sent me to jail
Then gave me 20 months, no bail
Said I′d been hanging out with all the wrong people

Hanging out with all the wrong people
I was hanging out with all the wrong people
And if I'm never seen again, please tell my wife and tell my friends
That I was hanging out with all the wrong people (go)

Well, a long long time ago
There was a guy I used to know
That said he fell in love for all the wrong reasons
She got the house, she took the cat
She got the shirt right off his back
And now she′s living in the Caribbean

There was a girl from down the road
Who had a heart as pure as gold
Friends took her to a church in San Francisco
They promised love, eternal live
All for a very special price
Then drained her savings till she blew the whistle

Hanging out with all the wrong people
I was hanging out with all the wrong people
And if I'm never seen again, please tell my wife and tell my friends
That I was hanging out with all the wrong people

Hanging out with all the wrong people
I was hanging out with all the wrong people
They told me time and time again
To watch my back or I'll regret
Sometimes intentions are just downright evil

People
All the wrong people
People
Oh

I tell ya now as I look back
Driving my brand new Cadillac
I′m still a criminal but selling fiction
I′m stealing votes and taking brides
To hide my mistress on the side
I found my calling as a politician

Hanging out with all the wrong people
I was hanging out with all the wrong people
And if I'm never seen again, please tell my wife and tell my friends
That I was hanging out with all the wrong people

Hanging out with all the wrong people
I was hanging out with all the wrong people
They told me time and time again
To watch my back or I′ll regret
Sometimes intentions are just downright evil

They told me time and time again
You'll end up broken, left for dead
If you keep hanging out with all the wrong people
