Lyrics:
White shirt now red, my bloody nose Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes Creeping around like no one knows Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you Don't say thank you or please, I do what I want when I'm wanting to My soul? So cynical
(Chorus) So you're a tough guy Like-it-really-rough guy Just-can't-get-enough guy Chest-always-so-puffed guy I'm that bad type Make-your-mama-sad type Make-your-girlfriend-mad type Might-seduce-your-dad type I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it when you take control Even if you know that you don't Own me, I'll let you play the role I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along With me but she won't sing this song If she reads all the lyrics She'll pity the men I know
(Chorus)
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm only good at being bad Bad
I like when you get mad I guess I'm pretty glad That you're alone You said she's scared of me? I mean I don't see what she sees But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy I'm, I'm a bad guy Bad guy, bad guy I'm a bad guy

In your notebook, copy three interesting facts about animals and then write them with your own words.
Example: “Cheetahs are the only big cats that can’t roar” –> “All big cats can roar, except for Cheetahs”
Compare three characteristics of two animals of the same kingdom.
Example: “The Rock Pigeon is 12.5 inches in length, has only one call: a soft coo-cuk-cuk-cuk-cooo, and it depends on humans to survive. // The Barred Owl is 21 inches in length, has many different calls, and it often avoids human presence.”
Look for an endangered species and think of ways to prevent its extinction.
Create a short fact sheet about your favorite animal(s). Include a brief description, its habitat, diet, and 2 interesting facts. DO NOT copy any text, write everything with your own words.
