Livin', lovin'
Never get enough in
Always workin' for another change
I'm rollin', flowin'
Dollars I be owin'
Got no pennies to my lonely name
[Hook]
I see them looking down at me
High up in their money tree
Tellin' me to go where I came from
But attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome, yeah
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Always feelin'
When my heart is bleedin'
I know someday it will go away
I'm ready, steady
She don't comprehend me
It's all right because I got another flame
[Hook]
That's burning deep inside of me
If no one in the world agrees
I can make them see me one by one
Cause attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Goin', comin'
Never stop a runnin'
I don't wanna see another day
Where people keep on
Givin' all their freedom
Won't' try livin' 'cause they're so afraid
[Hook]
I see the ease in turning back
Turning down the thermostat
But that won't make a tale for my grandson
So attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome, yeah
[Outro]
Attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome
Attitude boy will overcome
