I can't do right when all I wanna do is wrong
My conscience sounds alarm like the warning 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 is 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 living breathing devil trying 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 listed to advice, I was never that bright
Couldn't walk away, I was looking 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
Spirits rebellious, You tell us everything's alright tonight
Spirits rebellious, All we're gonna hear is lies, Lies, lies, lies, lies
My spirits rebellious, I can't do right when all I wanna do is wrong
My spirits rebellious, I know about the punishment, I know about the law
My spirits rebellious, My sins cut deeper than the teeth on a saw
My spirits rebellious, I'm the teenage curse of the monkey's paw
