[Verse]
AI'm taking back roads
All the way Eback home
Everything IF#m’ve known
Just a littlEe overgrownD  
I didn't choose Athis town
I can undo iEt now
I try to lovF#me the beast
No matter what it Ethinks of meD  
You're worried thAat you’ll go to hellE  
For all the liveF#ms that you can't savDe
For all the moneAy that you wastEe
For all the good F#myou throw awayD  
[Chorus]
AYes, you're evil but you're nAot thaAt badD  
F#mYou put out your palm more than the bEack of yEour hanDd
AThey were wrong when they said "fAorget tAhe pasDt"
F#mLet your flag fly at fEorever haElf mastD  
F#mLet your flag fly at fEorever haElf mastA

AWe're in a state of disarray
United by our Edarkest days
Aching from tF#mhe growing pains
They always saEy it's just a phasDe
America, the tAried and true
Red and white Eand black and blue
Tell me, who dF#mid this to you?
If it was meE, I hardly knDew
[Chorus]
AYes, you're evil but you're Anot thAat badD
