A Rebel Without A Cause

by Red Lights Flash

on For Your Safety (2009)

A frequently asked question:
How much it must have hurt him?
Nobody knows for sure but he thought:
Represent the exception to the rule!
All at once he saw the abyss
A black hole inside his soul
Scared of insanity he experienced firsthand
From people who got treated second hand

A rebel without a cause!
A rebel against conformity!

You're not supposed to know that
But evil slumbers deep down
In each and everyone of us
He experienced it the hard way!
The feeling of abandonment,
The fear of being too weak
If looks would kill,
He'll be dead now!
This proves how fast things can change

A rebel without a cause!
A rebel against conformity!
A rebel without a cause!
...would like to learn from you,
Would like to hear your opinion
A rebel without a cause!
Would like to learn from you,
Would like to hear your opinion
A rebel against conformity!

The situation had become unbearable,
So he pulled the emergency break
And the wise men on the end...
...on the end of the road they told him,
"when the soul weeps - it needs solace!"
And he said,
"remember your roots, find your peace of mind again!"

So he took the guy and sent him to an early grave
And the glorious epitaph
On the gravestone said:
Here rests Johnny S.W.,
Overtaken by sudden death
A rebel without a cause,
So may your god rest his soul.

A rebel without a cause
A rebel against conformity!
A rebel without a cause!
...would like to learn from you,
Would like to hear your opinion
A rebel without a cause!
Would like to learn from you,
A rebel without a cause!
Would like to learn from you,
Would like to hear your opinion
A rebel against conformity!
