Joan Jett – Bad Reputation lyrics
Never give a damn about my reputation
You're livin in the past there's a new generation
And a girl can do what she wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputaion
Ooowhoa-no, not me
Never give a damn about my reputation
I never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm always feelin good when I'm havin fun
And I don't have to please no one
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me

Never give a damn about my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care,
If I'm strange,
I ain't gonna change
And I'm never gonna care about my bad reputation
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me
Break it down
*Guitar and drums*
I never give a damn about my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
And everyone can say what they wanna say,
It never gets better anyway
So why could I care about a bad reputation
Anyway?
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me
Oowhoa-no, not me!

    Not just old people I get that it hits older generations harder because they where raised to belive that girls have to be "sugar and spice and everything nice" but if you look around you it's not just old people who think "women should learn their place" but a vast majority of the people in day to day life and in power today even other countries and so I believe this song is to every body who thinks anyone be it man or female has to be in there set spot and do what is expected of them regardless of what they are feeling or what they think is expected but do what the f*k makes them happy
    "I only feel happy when there is no pain and I don't give a damn about my BAD REPUTATION!"
