Written, sung, recorded, acted, filmed, edited: All done by our 8th grade class.

Lyrics:

'Cause baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be one love
We can’t believe what you’ve done
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood (Hey!)

I can’t take it back, cuz of your acts
We were best friends, that’s gotta end, remember that?
you held us back until we cracked, ID my facts
now revolution you and me, we’re gonna attack!
I don’t hate to, I just hate you, the bad leader is you
These beats of the colonies, use rhetoric to replace you
it takes time to erase you, love ain’t here no more
loyalty ain’t here no more, better yet respect ain't quite sincere no more (squaw)

Oh it’s so sad to
Break our old ties
From our home

But baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be one love
Because of what you've done
We have petitions and guns (Hey!)
Now we’ve got problems
Thomas Jefferson writes ‘em
We’re declaring that we are done
And baby, now we’ve got bad blood (Hey!)

Remember when you tried to cut me off? (Unh)
when you made my natural rights a loss?
don’t you remember you thought that I’d obey you
follow procedure? all those acts? oh wait you got amnesia?
it was our season for proclamations, sugar acts, british soldiers, stamps, currency went back; to gold, tea parties there too
still all my life, I got ‘merican pride
and you gotta live with the bad blood now

Oh it's not sad to break away from you
In a war

Cuz baby now we got bad blood,
you know it used to be one love
Our rights will not be lost
and baby now we got bad blood (hey!)
(Hey!) Now we got Patrick
you know he really likes rhetoric
Common sense will convince us
cuz baby now we got bad blood hey

Sons of Liberty inspire
With their words we’ll fight your fire
We’ll push you back, till you go!

(We'll fight, we'll fight till you leave us alone)

Petitions don't fix bullet holes
Your repeal was just for show
We’ll push you back, till you go! (yeh)
We will attack from the shadows!

We hold these truth self evident
Equal rights are permanent
We won't live with your torment.
'Cause baby, now we've got bad blood (Hey!)

You sent over soldiers
But they are not the cure
Now we’re fightin a war
And baby, now we've got bad blood (Hey!)

'Cause baby, now we got minute men
Training hard so we that can win
It won’t be long till we’re free again
'Cause baby, now we've got bad blood (Hey!)
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we've got bad blood (Hey!)
