Was a high school teacher ’til he got real sick
(Now he’s breaking bad, now he’s breaking bad)
Aaron Paul was his friend who called everybody “bitch”
(Now he’s breaking bad, also breaking bad)
Started cooking up drugs but they came out blue
(Now he’s breaking bad, making drugs is bad)
Bought a porkpie hat, threw a pizza on the roof
(’Cause he’s breaking bad, really breaking bad)
Was a big shoot-out and he wound up dead
(You just spoiled it dude, spoiling stuff is bad)
If you haven’t seen the show, never mind what I said
(Check out Breaking Bad, Netflix Breaking Bad)
Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad
