Rebel Rebel

No I’m not married or knocked up

don’t care that Holly from high school has a good job

why’s it gotta be all set and backed up?

my vision’s different from yours, but i’m no snob

there’s no timeline, there’s no date

Don’t expect anything now, I can wait

It’ll happen… I think, I hope, I want, I need

I’m not about normal, it’s a rebel creed

Got out of town, went to school

did what that right, but i wanted something more

didn’t just party and be a teenage fool

It’s music, It’s crazy, and it’s my big score

(repeat chorus three times)

 

****blogger’s note****

This is a song written for The Ballad of Helene Troy called Rebel Creed. I wrote twelve songs for the story. This is probably the most simple and punk based. It follows a standard C/G/F power chord. That’s all I have, music-wise. I cut about 10 words – some I’s and other articles. But you get the jist. It’s also in response to Velvet Verbosity’s 100 word challenge “Rebel”  http://www.velvetverbosity.com/ Since I’ve already used Bikini Kill’s Rebel Girl in another post. I’ll drop David Bowie’s Rebel Rebel but use Joan Jett’s version to give you some idea of how this would go in a non-fictional world.
