Something BadThe Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: George Tutuska Robby Takac John Rzeznik

[Verse 1]
Well, they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm old then I would have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lose their common blue?

[Chorus]
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that something bad has got to change
Oh yes, I know that something bad has got to change

[Verse 2]
Well I see her walking round the block till six a.m
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity

[Chorus][x2]
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that something bad has got to change
Oh yes, I know that something bad has got to change

[Outro]
Yes, I know that something bad has got to change
Oh yes, I know that something bad has got tochange

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
