with Roger Daltry)



They say you never come home, boy you been drivin' too fast

When you gonna shape up, how long is this gonna last

You may be laughin' today, but listen to some good advice

An' take a look at tomorrow in a workin' man's weary eyes



You gotta pick a carreer, go for the gold

Smile for the camera, do what you're told

Well you can take away the ladder 'cos I ain't gonna climb it

If there's a stairway to heaven I swear I'm gonna find it



Chorus:

Well 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 nothin' to lose

Behind every man who has somethin' to say

There's a boy who had nothin' to prove

An' 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 too tight, or you don't hold me enough

Don't be afraid of 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 nest

Plan for the future, an' gimme your best

Boy we're never gonna have a normal family life

Steamin' up and down the speedway on the back a' your bike



(chorus)



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



You try to lay down the rules, well I was born to refuse

What's the world gonna do with a man like you

You got a bad - no, you got a bad, you got a bad - ooh, you got a bad

You got a bad - no, you got a bad, you got a bad attitude







(Solo)



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



(chorus)



Oh, you got a bad, ooh, you got a bad, oh, you got a bad attitude

No, you got a bad, you got a bad, you got a bad attitude
