They say you never come home Boy you been driving too fast When you gonna shape up How long is this gonna last You may be laughin' today But listen to some good advice Take a look at tomorrow in a workin' man's weary eyes You gotta pick a career Go for the gold Smile for the camera Do what you're told Well you can take away the ladder cuz I ain't gonna climb it If there's a stairway to heaven I swear I'm gonna find it Yeah there are winners and outlaws And leaders and lovers Behind every man in the news And one thing I know is behind everyone There's a boy who had nothing to lose Behind every man who has somethin' to say There's a boy who had nothing to prove Every hero was once Every villain was once Just a boy with a bad attitude Every hero was once Every villain was once Just a boy with a bad attitude She says you never call How come you're actin' so tough You either hold me so tight Or you don't hold me enough Don't be afraid a' me angel I ain't about to clip your wings Just put your feet on the ground And your arms around the real thing You gotta love me for keeps Feather the neat Plan for the future Gimmee your best But we're never gonna have a normal family life Steamin' up and down the speedway on the back a' your bike Bad attitude You got us tearin' our hair Such a bad attitude Boy you just don't seem to care We try to lay down the rules But you were born to refuse What's the world gonna do with a boy like you You got it bad You got a bad attitude
