I can't do right when all I wanna do is wrong My conscience sounds alarm like the waning of a Chinese gong I know about the punishment, I know about the law My sins cut deeper than the teeth on a saw My attitude is bad and my nerves are raw I'm a shotgun snake, I'm a jackal with claws I was born with a chip on my shoulder on a stormy night Alright My spirits rebellious, you tell us everything's okay No way Spirits rebellious, we won't do anything you say It's a hard, hard world with a black corroded heart There's a livin', breathin' devil tryin' to tear my soul apart In a cold, cold grave on a dark, dark night Eternity is black, I'll never see the light Never listen to advice, I was never that bright Couldn't walk away, I was lookin' to fight I was born with a chip on my shoulder on a stormy night Alright My spirits rebellious, you tell us everything's okay No way My spirits rebellious, we won't do anything you say No way My spirits rebellious, you tell us everything alright Tonight Spirits rebellious, all we gonna hear is lies, lies, lies Lies My spirits rebellious I can't do right when all I want to do is wrong My spirits rebellious I know about the punishment, I know about the law My spirits rebellious My sins cut deeper then the teeth on a saw My spirits rebellious I'm the teenage curse of the monkey's paw
