Bad Mood

From Come of Age2012

Written by Justin Hayward-Young

Produced by Ethan Johns

Lyrics

Bad Mood

Better to be ready if you rattle my cage Oh, I should loosen up some, baby, I know But I get angrier with age Better to be ready if you rattle my cage Oh, you look disappointed in me Oh, am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be? Yeah, I know I'm always givin' you the third degree But you look disappointed in me Now I'm in a bad, bad mood A bad, bad mood I'm in a bad, bad mood A bad, bad mood We'll rate, generate, generate some more So what you singin' 'bout summer for? Forgive me if I'm untoward And out of order, but I suspect That with respect to your perception You're lookin' in the wrong direction As I'm sure, you'll conclude I'm in a pretty awful mood Better to be ready if you rattle my cage And I know I'm always puttin' it on you But I get angrier with age Better to be ready if you rattle my cage Now I'm in a bad, bad mood A bad, bad mood I'm in a bad, bad mood A bad, bad mood I'm in a bad, bad mood A bad, bad mood
