General Attitude Lyrics

Cover art for General Attitude lyrics by Collective Soul

I believe he is talking about love, and how he is always burdened with it like he is some criminal. Then he goes on saying how happy he is because he is freed from it, and now he can do things he wasn't able to.

Maybe after that he starts to say how love is something that wasn't etched in stone forever, his love is something that is already gone.

He tells what love was to him, and he wants it, but he wants love to come his way now, instead of searching for it and trying to keep it.

He can go on pretending to be in love, but he can only love as much as anyone else can. Now he is gone with his love like when people left Babylon. (guess)

Yeah, he can mumble, talk, and love again, but he's not someone who will always be in love and goes on how he wants love to come his way instead.

Now he's come back, because the everyone loves him instead, and he is telling them to feel the changes he's laying down.

I think it has to do somewhat about his relationship he had when they weren't playing for a while and how he is coming back with his band now that everything fine.

Just a huge guess, could be totally off. :)
