Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't believe what you said to me
You got some attitude
Inside your feeble brain there's probably a whore
If you don't shut your mouth you're gonna feel the floor
Attitude, the one you got, oh baby
Attitude, attitude
Inside your feeble brain there's probably a whore
If you don't shut your mouth you're gonna feel the floor
Attitude, you got some fucking attitude
(Attitude) I can't believe what you said to me
You got some attitude
Attitude, you got some fucking attitude
(Attitude) I can't believe what you said to me
You got some attitude
The lyrics of Nutley Brass/The Misfits's song Attitude express frustration with someone's bad attitude. The song suggests that the person with the bad attitude is likely to have other issues, such as being morally loose (the line "Inside your feeble brain there's probably a whore") and that if they don't stop, they may get into a physical altercation ("If you don't shut your mouth you're gonna feel the floor"). The repetition of "Attitude" in the chorus emphasizes the central theme of the song - that this person has a bad attitude and it needs to change.
Overall, the lyrics of Attitude are aggressive and confrontational. They express the singer's irritation with the other person's behavior and imply that confrontation could escalate quickly. The song is short and to the point, drove by distorted guitar and a relentless drum beat. While it is certainly not the most lyrically complex song, it captures the frustration and annoyance that many people feel when dealing with someone with a bad attitude.
