Drop the 'Tude

At the art gallery, the attendant wouldn’t stop:
Drop the attitude, love - you’re working in a shop.
Up the back of the oval all the rebels look glum:
Drop the attitude, fella - no one else’s fault you’re dumb.

At the rock concert all the young girlies holler:
Drop the attitude, rock star - you’ll be gone tomorra.
On trams and trains and buses, graffiti artist does his best:
Drop the attitude, wanker, or I’ll come shit in your nest.

We've had enough of you
Drop the attitude

On the TV sex shows there’s those counselling bits:
Drop the attitude, doctor - we’re only watching for the tits.
One, two, three, four, let’s scream it all together:
Drop the attitude, weatherman, and just read the fucking weather.

Hunter S. Thompson (1) keeps droppin’ L.S.D:
Drop the attitude, hippie - don’t give a fuck what you can see.
Some one just told me this Ab Fab (2) rip off is getting out of hand:
There you go again, mistaking me for someone who gives a damn.

We've had enough of you
Drop the attitude

1. Hunter S. Thompson is the father of 'gonzo journalism', which is characterised by the use of quotes, sarcasm, humour, exaggeration and profanity, using the idea that 'the fiction is often the best fact'. It's also unedited. A highly subjective and extremely personal form of reporting.
