  • Take a look at
    These dirty hands
    Take a look at this face these blazing eyes
    Do you see me as a broken man
    Tell me
    Are you really that blind

    You got yourself a load of trouble now
    You got yourself a bad deal
    You say I've got a bad attitude
    How d'you think I feel

    You got me locked in a paper cage
    You think I'm chained up but I'm just tied down
    Step aside get out of my way
    I won't hurt you I had enough being pushed around

    You got yourself a load of trouble now
    You got yourself a bad deal
    You say I've got a bad attitude
    How d'you think I feel

    Don't want a number
    I got a name
    Take a look at my face
    Talk about a bad attitude
    Things have got to change Writer/s: IAN GILLAN, JON LORD, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROGER GLOVER
