Words and Music by Stephen Stills, from Crosby, Stills & Nash's 1994 album, "After The Storm." [Intro] E [Verse 1]
              A
Have you been watchin' the bad boyz

              G          E
Hangin' around the schoolyard?

            A
Has anyone tried to figure out

                            G    E
How it is they got so bitter and hard

            A
Does anyone have the faintest idea

                    G             E
How we gonna explain life to them so far
[Chorus]
           B
They can't hang out on the street

            A
They can't hang out with the boyz

   B
Unless they're packin' heat

     A                 G                  E
And ready to make some noise like the bad boyz
[Verse 2]
               A
Have you been watchin' the hatred

                   G             E
Growing every day between the children?

              A
Have you been watchin' the races

                         G        E
On each other's cases and all suspicious?

            A
Somebody's always in your face

                              G            E
It's almost like bein' raped, you're so defenseless
[Chorus]
           B
You can't hang out on the street

           A
You can't hang out with the boyz

 B
Unless you're packin' heat

    A              G                  E
And Ready to make some noise like the bad boyz
[Bridge] G D
A         G           E      G  D
Hope you get there in time

A         G           E
Lose 'em all down the line
[Verse 3]
          A
Way down yonder on the plantation

                                 G          E
Today it's called the 'hood and everyone's restless

           A
They feel deserted and abandoned

                              G        E
They do the best they can but life is ruthless

                 A
If ya never did care about your neighbor

                               G           E
Cuz their frightening behavior get through to ya
[Chorus]
                       B
Don't ya see they can't hang out on the street

            A
They can't hang out with the boyz

   B
Unless they're packin' heat

  A                 G                     E
Ready to make some noise they're the bad boyz
[Instrumental] A G E A G E A G E [Chorus]
           B
They can't hang out on the street

            A
They can't hang out with the boyz

   B
Unless they're packin' heat

     A                 G                  E
And ready to make some noise like the bad boyz
[Outro]
            E
They're the bad boyz
