We Shall Rebel
Written by Kaber Vasuki on 6/29/2009 09:37:00 PMSo I look at Lennon and Zappa,
and the other heroes I look up to,
who had something to say.
I think, where is my ideological hero,
of my land, of my language, like me?
The only ones who can try to fit the bill
are singing or writing love songs.
The few who do say what they think,
are not saying it loud enough,
or are not getting fed for what they say.
I might be the odd guy here,
or maybe it's just a phase,
or I'm just rambling about nothing.
We are after all Palahniuk's middle generation.
Maybe things would be more interesting,
if more of us took out our guitars,
and sang songs about things we really cared about.
Whatever happens though, old people
and others who don't understand,
we shall rebel, like our fathers did,
because we have nothing much else to do.
