Bad Attitude Shuffle
Embracing Independence: Life's Troubles and Self-Reliance
Lyrics
When I get up in the morning
Expressing the start of the day with a sense of difficulty and troubles.
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Feeling burdened with a lot of problems on the mind.
And nothin' seems too easy
Highlighting the challenging nature of the situation, where nothing appears to be straightforward.
When your clock's tickin' quarter to five
Describing a late afternoon or early evening time when the pressure intensifies.
Make my way down to the door
Moving towards the door, possibly symbolizing a departure or facing the challenges directly.
Can't put my troubles on no shelf
Unable to avoid or escape personal troubles.
Cause when nobody worries for you
Emphasizing the need for self-reliance when others aren't concerned about your problems.
You got to worry for yourself
Stressing the importance of taking care of oneself in the absence of external support.
Cruisin' in my four wheels
Driving in a vehicle with all necessary comforts.
It's got everything I need inside
Expressing contentment with one's current situation.
Think I'll stop and fill it up for the ride
Deciding to refuel the vehicle for the journey ahead.
Man said that be twenty dollars
Being informed about the cost of refueling.
Mister, by the way how's your health
Inquiring about someone else's well-being while making a transaction.
I said mister here's your money
Paying for the transaction and indicating a desire for privacy.
Now you keep your questions for yourself
Asserting the need for personal boundaries and avoiding intrusive questions.
And it's my life that I'm livin'
Affirming the individuality of the speaker's life.
Wouldn't want to be no one else
Expressing contentment with one's own existence.
So if you don't like how I dot it
Defending the right to live life on one's own terms.
Ya better keep it to yourself
Advising others to keep their opinions about the speaker's choices to themselves.
Kick it in
Encouraging action or starting something with enthusiasm.
When I get up in the morning
Repeating the morning scenario, suggesting a recurring theme of challenges.
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Reiterating the presence of troubles in the morning routine.
And nothin' seems too easy
Highlighting the ongoing difficulty, possibly with a sense of frustration.
When your clock's tickin' quarter to nine
Pointing to a later time in the morning with continued challenges.
Make my way down to the door
Repeating the action of making a move, facing the day's difficulties.
Can't put my troubles on no shelf
Emphasizing the inability to ignore or set aside personal troubles.
Cause when nobody worries for you
Reiterating the theme of self-reliance when others are not concerned.
You got to worry for yourself
Underlining the importance of self-care and personal responsibility.
And it's my life that I'm livin'
Reaffirming the speaker's satisfaction with their own life.
Wouldn't want to be no one else
Declining a desire to be someone else, reinforcing self-acceptance.
So if you don't like how I do it
Defending personal choices and actions against potential criticism.
Ya better keep it to yourself
Advising others to refrain from expressing disapproval.
And it's my life that I'm livin'
Reaffirming the speaker's satisfaction with their own life.
Wouldn't want to be no one else
Rejecting the idea of being someone else, embracing individuality.
So if you don't like how I do it
Reiterating the stance against external judgments on personal choices.
Fuckin' keep it to yourself
Using strong language to firmly assert the need for privacy and autonomy.
