Call It The Rebel In Me

HummerWisdom

Inspired by a post in SWF regarding A.I. and songwriting. I prefer not to BUT just call it the rebel in me. And of course, in a 'free' world, what you do is your own business. Thank you for taking the time. Now, that you know what side of the fence I'm on, I hope we can still be friends. ☺️

CALL IT THE REBEL IN ME

Look around this town I don’t like what I see

Eyes every place I shop, every place I go

Pretty soon there’ll be cam’ras in the trees

A sky taken over by little black drones

 

And I won’t be usin’ A.I. to write my songs

Won’t be receivin’ the devil’s chip in my wrist

Keep your injections for the go-along’s

I’m happy keepin’ on doin’ the twist

 

CHORUS

Call it the rebel in me

The rebel in me

Born a rebel always be

That’s the rebel in me

 

I’ve been kicked off ‘a Facebook permanently

For saying something I shouldn’t’ve said

I’ll be damned to be an alien in my own country

There’s just no puttin’ the rebel in me to bed

 

Call it the rebel in me

The rebel in me

Born a rebel always be

That’s the rebel in me

 

And the more WOKE they are the faster asleep

Rather be friendless than puttin’ up with snowflakes

I won’t be drinkin’ Budweiser like the sheep

Now the king is a queen and that takes the cake!

 

Call it the rebel in me

The rebel in me

Born a rebel always be

That’s the rebel in me

 

Call it the rebel in me

The rebel in me

Born a rebel always be

That’s the rebel in me

 

Born a rebel always be

That’s the rebel in me!

Good song Renee,

One minor suggestion,

"Eyes every place I shop, every place I go"

consider, "wont leave me alone" to rhyme the 4th line.

Reading the chorus, I found myself saying "Born a rebel always WILL be" so you might try that out - but it will also depend on what music it's set to.

I'd say you're getting your message across loud and clear!

Thank you Sid and Rainy. Both great suggestions, Let me ponder a bit. And yes, looking back, Sid, I went with perfect rhyme except for go/drones . . . shame on me! While I don't mind imperfect rhyme it doesn't make much sense when everything else is perfect rhyme. Wrote this one rather fast. NEED TO SLOW DOWN! Great catch!
