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
   I see them looking down at me
   From high up in their money tree
   Tellin' me to go where I came from
   But attitude boy will overcome
   Attitude boy will overcome
   Always feelin'
   When my heart is bleedin'
   I know someday
   It will go away
   I'm ready steady
   But she don't comprehend me
   It's all right because I got another flame
   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
   Solo
   Goin', comin'
   Never stop my runnin'
   I don't wanna see another day
   Where people keep on
   Givin' all their freedom
   Wont' try livin'
   Cause they're so afraid
   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
   Attitude boy will overcome
   Attitude boy will overcome
   Attitude boy will overcome
