The Rebel - Revised

Help the rebel cause We pause Paying our respects to those brave enough To stand for those who won't, for whatever reasons For standing against the oppressors of the oppressed The instigators of our distress Yet, indeed Our lives could be so much worse than it seems Though, truthfully It could be so much better than we ever dreamed Imagine thoughts a mind would never boldly speak As they prey on those who are willfully portrayed as weak Or dare I even speak Of the scraps we've yearned to keep As we work ourselves to the bone While boasting about profits reaching new record peaks But you know what? No more time to pause As we stand, witness to the budding flower of hope Blooming to its profound perfection Contemplating all the ways we've continued to cope Though whats needed most Is a massive moral correction
