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 career
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
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
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
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 boy 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
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 -
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
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
