I Cut My Own Hair
Rebellion in Scissors: We Are Scientists' Anthem of Independence
Lyrics
I've made a thousand messes
I've created numerous chaotic situations
I just keep growing out
I continuously let things develop without control
I've never been much for your lessons
I haven't valued or learned from your guidance
And I'm not gonna start right now
I won't suddenly begin following your advice
You know what?
Expression of a realization or decision
I don't care
Indifference or lack of concern
So I cut
Symbolic act of taking control or making a change
My own hair
Symbolic action of asserting independence or self-care
I'm writin' all your songs and
Assuming responsibility for your creative output
I've writin' all your books
Claiming authorship or influence over various aspects
I'm writin' all your wrongs, now
Attempting to rectify past mistakes or issues
But I'm sure it won't do any good
Doubting the effectiveness of these efforts
You know what?
Reiteration of indifference or apathy
I don't care
Lack of concern or regard for external opinions
So I cut
Continuation of the symbolic act of self-change
My own hair
Further assertion of personal independence or choice
You slipped up
Someone else made a mistake
So don't bother
Advising against making an effort due to the error
You got cut
The other person experienced a consequence
Well, don't bother
Advising against continuing due to consequences
You're no fun
The other person is not enjoyable or engaging
Well, don't bother
Advising against engagement due to lack of enjoyment
It's not love
The situation lacks genuine affection or emotion
So don't bother
Advising against emotional investment due to lack of love
You know what?
Reiteration of indifference or lack of concern
I don't care
Continued assertion of personal choice or action
So I cut
Reiteration of the symbolic act of self-change
My own hair
Further emphasis on asserting independence or self-care
You know what?
Reiteration of indifference or lack of concern
I don't care
Continued affirmation of personal choice or action
So I cut
Continuation of the symbolic act of self-change
My own hair
Further assertion of personal independence or choice
