Bad Attitude
The Cross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broadsword calling Danny boy
You know what I feel
They say I gotta
They say I gotta - a bad attitude
You wanna buy a picture of your sister in her birthday suit
No gratitude
Street tough talkin' but you always get screwed
Only way to stay cool gotta break some rules
Systems made for fools
No aptitude
You get real slow and you slide into decrepitude
It's all platitudes
This one way street always ends in penal servitude
Get out there (get out there)
Get on the street go on and break some rules
You know what I feel
You know what I feel
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude
A bad attitude
You can't think straight when you're raised on junk food
No solitude
Somebody help me gotta getta grip on my latitude
You're just a destitute
Your folks don't like it when they see you starrin' on the news
You know what I feel
You know what I feel
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude
You're just a destitute
Some kinda prostitute
Sometimes I just wanna sit back and relax and get me some pulchritude (ha ha)
Lets get stewed
Get crude
A bad attitude
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude
Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude
Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude
So don't tell me what I gotta do
I'm sick of wise guys feeding me all these verisimilitudes
I ain't a fool
You'd better watch out honey - I'm one pissed off dude
I gotta bad attitude
The Cross's song "Bad Attitude" is a rebellious anthem that highlights society's pressure to conform while simultaneously promoting disobedience and breaking rules. The opening lyrics, "Broadsword calling Danny boy," are a reference to the 1968 war film "Where Eagles Dare" and add to the rebellious nature of the song. The repeated line, "They say I gotta a bad attitude," communicates the idea that the singer is continually being told they are doing something wrong and is being pressured to change.
The lyrics describe a world where conformity and platitudes are the norm, and those who don't fit in are punished or shamed. The line, "Street tough talkin' but you always get screwed," suggests society's promise of reward for those who play by the rules is empty. The call to "break some rules" and the reference to a system made for fools implies that disobedience is the only way to succeed.
Additionally, the mention of junk food and sliding into "decrepitude" suggests that society's unhealthy habits are contributing to its decline. The song ultimately promotes a bad attitude as a means of breaking free from societal constraints and finding one's destiny. The repetition of the "Rip it up - I gotta bad attitude, Tear it down - I gotta bad attitude" lyrics emphasizes this message.
