Happy I'm Mad

I woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
I walked into the wall, nearly busted my head
I looked into my drawer for my favorite shirt
My dad had thrown it out because he couldn't get out the dirt
I said

Don't try to cheer me up cause I'm not in the mood
I don't really want to change my attitude
I want to feel rotten, want to feel bad
So leave me alone because I'm happy I'm mad

I forgot to bring my homework when I went to school
So I tried to be funny and I acted cool
But then I heard Maggie say he's such a jerk
She said he's only acting cool cause he forgot his homework
I said

I'm sick of being friendly now I'm not in the mood
I don't really want to change my attitude
I want to feel rotten, want to feel bad
So leave me alone because I'm happy I'm mad

The teacher heard me talking and he gave me a frown
He put me in the corner and he said sit down
I knew I was in trouble but I didn't care
I got up all my courage and I got up off my chair
I said

Don't tell me what to do, cause I'm not in the mood
I don't really want to change my attitude
I want to feel rotten, want to feel bad
So leave me alone because I'm happy I'm mad

The principal was ready and waiting for me
She said I owed my teacher an apology
I knew that I was having a very bad day
But I could not believe it when I heard myself say

You might as well forget it, cause I'm not in the mood
I don't really want to change my attitude
I want to feel rotten, want to feel bad
So leave me alone because I'm happy I'm mad

Of course I was suspended without a delay
My daddy had to pick me up and take me away
He put me in my room where I had to stay
But before I went inside he had something to say
He said

I know you're feeling angry and your not in the mood
But I think I can help to change your attitude
I went into the garbage and I got your shirt
I got a stain remover and I got out all the dirt
But I want you to remember what I'm going to say
Don't take it out on others if you've had a bad day

Well I thought a lot about it all that night
Then I went back to school and I set things right
I learned that feeling sorry for yourself won't pay
You won't get very far if you let yourself say

Don't try to cheer me up cause I'm not in the mood
I don't really want to change my attitude
I want to feel rotten, want to feel bad
So leave me alone because I'm happy I'm mad
