god bless rebellion
some of my most favoritest rebellious song lyrics as a surly, passive-aggressive teenager:well i'm an axe grinder, pile driver
mama says that i never never mind 'er
they're no reins, i'm insane
the teacher says that i'm one big pain
-quiet riot
what I need I like
what I don't I fight
and I don't like you
-ac/dc
now, some of the song lyrics that, as a surly, passive-aggressive adult, give me bittersweet remembrance of those miserable teenage days:
and these children that you spit on
as you try to change their world
are immune to your consultation
they're quite aware of what they're going through
-bowie
i understand about indecision
and i don't care if i get behind
people livin in competition
all i want is to have my peace of mind
-boston
(i liked that one in high school, too)
music is so fuckin great.
i missed out on punk rock in its heyday and mine--but it all still exists, so i can rawk the ramones in my office, and i can affect a sneer and flip off the world (even if i'm only doing so on the inside) till i'm 75.
so fuckin great.
