I used to be an A student
I never used to complain
I used to be a truant

But I'm still the same
Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain

I used to go to parties
I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain

Bad bad brain
I used to be in show biz
I used to have fortune and fame

I used to have pleasure and pain
I used to have a name
Bad bad brain...

Now I'm on the Bowery
I can't remember my name
Bad bad brain

Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain, bad bad brain
Bad bad brain, bad bad brain

Bad bad brain, bad bad brain
Bad bad brain...
