Bad Attitude

Bad attitude's a catch-all phrase
When things don't work out their way
And you know you're supposed to stay
Right in your place

In your corner -- be a man
Get away with what you can
As long as you don't rip them
Keep you in your place

You know that it's not right to hate
It must be that you're born that way
You need some more -- indoctrinate
Or else they'll put you away

Bad attitude's what they'll serve you
When they're need for you is through
'Cause you got that attitude
Keep you in your place

Bad attitude's what it must be
Because you don't think like me
And want all those handsome things
Keep you in your place

Bad attitude's what I've been told
Since I was just five years old
And didn't buy what they had sold
Right in my place

Bad attitude but "be yourself"
Just enough like someone else
Another soul who needs our help
Go to [bad word]
