Attitude

(アルバム： Information Society - 1988)

Johnny moved to this big town
To be who he could be
But the tough guys on the sidewalk
They don't want him to be free
But he knows he has the power
He knows someday they'll be dead
The can't get him to turn around
He keeps walking straight ahead

'Cause he's got attitude
And it will get him through
And he's got attitude
And it will see him though

Backstage Mary
She grew up with nothing but hunger in her purse
All the fancy ladies tell her
"You'll only go from bad to worse"
But she just keeps on believing
She tells them she's doing fine
They get rich while she gets smart
She's growing stronger all the time

'Cause she's got attitude
And it will get her through
And she's got attitude
And it will see her through

Everybody knows who "they" are
They need no address
They make sure things are going their way
And the country's in a mess
As they buy that land, start that war
Keep those people poor
They don't care if people aren't
Going to take it anymore

And they've got attitude
And it will get them through
And they've got attitude
And it will see them through
