| Johnny moved to this big town
|
| To be who he could be
|
| But the tough guys on the sidewalk
|
| They don’t want him to be free
|
| But he knows he has the power
|
| He knows someday they’ll be dead
|
| The can’t get him to turn around
|
| He keeps walking straight ahead
|
| 'Cuz he’s got attitude
|
| And it will get him through
|
| And he’s got attitude
|
| And it will see him though
|
| Backstage Mary
|
| She grew up with nothing but hunger in her purse
|
| All the fancy ladies tell her
|
| «You'll only go from bad to worse.»
|
| But she just keeps on believing
|
| She tells them she’s doing fine
|
| They get rich while she gets smart
|
| She’s growing stronger all the time
|
| 'Cuz she’s got attitude
|
| And it will get her through
|
| And she’s got attitude
|
| And it will see her through
|
| Everybody knows who «they» are
|
| They need no address
|
| They make sure things are going their way
|
| And the country’s in a mess
|
| As they buy that land, start that war
|
| Keep those people poor
|
| They don’t care if people aren’t
|
| Going to take it anymore
|
| And they’ve got attitude
|
| And it will get them through
|
| And they’ve got attitude
|
| And it will see them through |
