Badly
Punching in, punching out
Someday I may rule this town
Looking up and looking down
But don't you dare look around
They say I should feel much better
That I should wear the biggest smile
They say I should feel much better
When I change what I desire
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
Take a seat, they say
Shut your mouth
You don't know what this is all about
Listen up and watch and learn
You haven't got this figured out
You have to do what they say
Don't you dare contest their wisdom
Forget about all your passion
Cause hopes and dreams don't pay the bills
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
Take a step late and you're a mile behind
Don't give up now cause there ain't nothing to find
You might as well have lost your mind
If you're not gonna win then why should you even try
You've given your dignity, you've swallowed your pride
Oh
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
Someday I may rule this town
Looking up and looking down
But don't you dare look around
They say I should feel much better
That I should wear the biggest smile
They say I should feel much better
When I change what I desire
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
Take a seat, they say
Shut your mouth
You don't know what this is all about
Listen up and watch and learn
You haven't got this figured out
You have to do what they say
Don't you dare contest their wisdom
Forget about all your passion
Cause hopes and dreams don't pay the bills
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
Take a step late and you're a mile behind
Don't give up now cause there ain't nothing to find
You might as well have lost your mind
If you're not gonna win then why should you even try
You've given your dignity, you've swallowed your pride
Oh
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
I know just the thing that I'm wanting
And I want it badly
