Bad Attitude

Bad attitude's a catch-all phrase
 When things don't work out their way
 And you know they'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 their 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
 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...
 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 hell
 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...
