Your A Rebel

Tailors make concession faith
In the pocket, with your makeup
Disguise false words of wisdom
From the authors of your stakeout
Zip up trends in fashion friends
For hobbies spelled in manicures
Throwaway tattered doctrines
Regurgitate there vinyl strands
Because you are, what you ware
Bleached and combed with unclothed care

Cool hunting for those cultural memes
In the piranha pools, where desperate hearts beat
The stark canvass, you were born to raid
Nomenclature wealth from a dodged pirate trade
Roam with fishnets punks that sport purple hair
Ride shotgun with Geek sheiks with anime flair
Be a mechanical summarizing anarchist
When you're a philandering philistine motorist
Reject big brother and mom and dad's laboratory
Obfuscate the comfort, of a best friend's itinerary

Because you are a rebel
Diversity is best expressed when it comes inside a Petri dish
Underneath the pressure gauge, of the inner circle microscope
Pass the test, and you will flow, the painful decent of vertigo
Conformities freefalling, but true freedom is a weighted stone
Just be a genuine delinquent another miscreant exhibit
Shoe shines away a free buffet, for all your badges on a plate
Dime a dozen in depressions with egotistical hysterias
Postmodern in your humor, that's now twenty years post mortem

Because you're a rebel

You're a rebel who ware's, your image for good
Shoplifting for idols, that no one understood
Burton's Gothic jock pinup with scissors for hands
Trade in for Guevara when you become a fighting man
Breaking the record for saying know one comprehends
When your segment in a market with a dozen other brands
Compacting your cellophane, pre-programmed ideology
Omitted in reverence ad busters, wired and vice magazine

Indifferent to politics, you make a case for global matters
Never caring about the premise but committed to the issues
Marching high with all your banners declaring free all the gays
Dancing on a stolen rainbow, but never say this is your phase
Or deflect a false albedo, you cooked up for climate change
Dynamic for cool slogans and buying into Al Gore's vitriolic
But if one day you reach forty, and the suburban monopoly
I will retire with a smile, and feast the banquet for my apathy

Manufacture expressions that compliment your intent
The linchpins in your jeans that indicate no subtle bent
Bargain bin a protest, when the G20 meets on Queens Street
Take pot shots at some cops, with some incendiary remarks
Because anarchy is ecstasy, just be home in time for tea
Date the student body with contemporary Noam Chomsky
Be a radical of law; obey your generation's noble cause
Where the role you're born to play, conform it all for your display

Because you're just another rebel
