Rebel Without A Cause
Rebel Hearts Unite: Fiona Bevan's Anthem of Purposeful Chaos
Lyrics
The devil makes work for idle thumbs
The devil finds tasks for those who are idle or not occupied.
But the devil's so busy
The devil is occupied with other matters, perhaps suggesting a lack of temptation or influence.
I can think of ways that are much more fun
Suggesting alternative, more enjoyable activities instead of engaging in the devil's work.
If you would come with me
Inviting someone to join the speaker in these more enjoyable activities.
You're from the other side of town
Highlighting a geographical difference between the speaker and the listener.
But we're not so different
Emphasizing the commonality between the speaker and the listener despite their differences.
And we could hang around
Suggesting spending time together casually or going to a distant place.
Or go somewhere distant
Exploring the idea of going somewhere far away with the listener.
You're so bored
Describing the listener as being uninterested or lacking excitement.
You're a rebel without a cause
Labeling the listener as someone who challenges norms without a specific reason.
Making trouble just because
Engaging in disruptive behavior without a clear motive.
Maybe if you wanna fight my corner
Offering support and suggesting the speaker is willing to stand by the listener's side.
I'm yours
Expressing a commitment to the listener, offering loyalty.
No point waiting in the corner queue
Advising against waiting for opportunities that may not come.
No jobs going
Highlighting a lack of available opportunities or jobs.
I'd rather be with you
Expressing a preference for being with the listener over pursuing a job.
Go wherever you're going
Indicating a willingness to follow the listener wherever they go.
They say you're bad to the core
Referring to a perception of the listener as inherently bad or rebellious.
Must be the same as me
Drawing parallels between the speaker and the listener's rebellious nature.
Cos we both want more
Suggesting a shared desire for more in life.
But it's all so empty
Expressing a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction despite shared desires.
You're so bored
Reiterating the listener's boredom or lack of interest.
You're a rebel without a cause
Repeating the label of the listener as a rebel without a cause.
Making trouble just because
Reiterating the idea of causing trouble without a clear purpose.
Maybe if you wanna fight my corner
Reiterating the speaker's willingness to support the listener in their challenges.
I'm yours
Reiterating the speaker's commitment to the listener.
Everybody's picking fights
Observing a general atmosphere of conflict and confrontation.
Sizing up, taking sides
Describing the process of assessing and taking sides in conflicts.
Anger's rising up
Noting a rise in anger or tension.
You're dead or a chicken if you don't fight
Suggesting that not participating in a fight may lead to negative consequences.
But you lean against the wall
Choosing not to engage in a fight, perhaps advocating for a more peaceful approach.
Say, we could brawl amongst ourselves forever
Suggesting that internal conflicts can persist indefinitely.
But when the army's round the corner
Recognizing the need for unity when faced with external threats.
We all better be in this together
Highlighting the importance of solidarity in the face of external challenges.
How can they say
Pondering the judgment of others about the listener's rebellious nature.
You're a rebel without a cause
Repeating the idea of being a rebel without a clear purpose.
Making trouble just because
Reiterating the theme of causing trouble without a specific reason.
Maybe if you wanna fight my corner
Expressing the speaker's readiness to support the listener in their challenges.
I'm yours
Reiterating the speaker's commitment to the listener.
You're a rebel without a cause
Repeating the label of the listener as a rebel without a cause.
