Attitude problem.
A right to be hostile
I've certainly got that
Between a swagger and a stare
My Westlund charm
Is caught between my teeth
I can barely spit it out
a compliment
a handshake
a smile
If I were any meaner
I'd be a snake
Just to keep you on your toes
I laugh at you
Or layer sarcasm
Like frosting on a German chocolate cake
I can't stand myself
When I get this way
Forgetting that the rest of the world
has feelings too.
