Song Lyrics: Attitude

Attitude

===============================================


I'm gettin Attitude
from a fat dude
in a wheelchair
a motorized kill-chair
feeding,
speeding,
not heeding where my feet go

And a yuppie in a bronco
runs me over in the cross-walk, Yo!

And a yuppie with a cheese-roll
cutting me in line
swinging his baguette
like a machete

I'm getting run over
by a double-wide baby stroller
double-wide baby stroller moms is two-fistin
latte and a capuccino

I'm stepping over bodies of the mentally insane
the lady with the latte is getting deranged


CHORUS:
    And every time I say I hate this town
    And every time I say I'm gonna burn it down
    down to the ground
    to the ground ground ground

    she says: Go and build a garden
    dig it in the ground, ground
 
    Go and build a garden
    dig it in the ground, ground
 
    put your hands in the Earth
    put your hands in the ground, ground
 
    and praise a strawberry
    put it in your mouth
    mother earth, hail mary

    put your hands in the earth
    put your hands in the ground, ground
    dig it in the ground

Neck to neck on the train
skully's lookin in my brain
everybody's on their phone
no one lookin where they're going
and the people getting fatter
and my blood's getting hotter
like the planet
I can't stand it

I try to go to the health club
old lady in a hot tub
givin me the underwater elbow
the rage is just below the surface
the rage is just below the surface


CHORUS:
    And every time I say I hate this town
    And every time I say I'm gonna burn it down
    down to the ground
    to the ground ground ground

    she says: Go and build a garden
    dig it in the ground, ground
 
    Go and build a garden
    dig it in the ground, ground
 
    put your hands in the Earth
    put your hands in the ground, ground
 
    and praise a strawberry
    put it in your mouth
    mother earth, hail mary
 
    put your hands in the earth
    put your hands in the ground, ground
    dig it in the ground
