Bad Attitude
AThey say you never come home boy you been driving too fast
When you gonna Bshape up How long is this gonna last
You may be Alaughin' today but listen to some good advice
Take a look at Btomorrow in a workin' man's weary eyes
BbYou gotta pick a career, go for the gold
CSmile for the camera, do what you're told
FWell you can take away the ladder cuz I ain't gonna climb it
DIf there's a stairway to heaven I swear I'm gonna find it 
BYeah there are winners and outlaws and Aleaders and lovers, bBehind every man in the news 
BAnd one thing I know is Abehind everyone, there's a Bboy who had nothing to lose
BBehind every man who has Asomethin' to say there's a Bboy who had nothing to prove 
BEvery hero was once every Avillain was once just a Bboy with a bad attituAde
BEvery hero was once every Avillain was once Just a Bboy with a bad attituAde 
AShe says you never call how come you're actin' so tough
You either Bhold me so tight or you don't hold me enough
Don't be afraid Aa' me angel I ain't about to clip your wings
Just put your Bfeet on the ground And your arms around the real thing
BbYou gotta love me for keeps feather the neat
CPlan for the future gimmee your best
FBut we're never gonna have a normal family life
Dsteamin' up and down the speedway on the back a' your bike 
BYeah there are winners and outlaws and Aleaders and lovers, bBehind every man in the news
