It’s hard to be a rebel
when no one gives a fuck
When no one’s listenin’ anymore
you’re plum out of luck
There was a time when people
cared about your heedless ways
But time has turned concerns to scorn:
you’ve passed your glory days
It’s hard to be a rebel
when no one gives a fuck
Your antics ain’t romantic,
you just sound like a schmuck
You once sowed your wild oats
but now the crops turned bad
Quickly suicidal provocateur
turn into dull and sad
It’s hard to be a rebel
when no one gives a fuck
Your poetry is boring,
your raisin’ hell is stuck
You left chaos in your wake
in the selfish pursuit of fun
But you’re less the drunken rockstar;
more the annoying alcy scum
It’s hard to be a rebel
when no one gives a fuck
Your nihilistic nonsense
has stopped runnin’ amok
You turned your back so many times
now your back is on the floor
Don’t matter much what you won’t do
You’re not wanted anymore
