Winsome Rebel
Winsome student enrolled with a rap sheet name,
school authorities rue the day you first came
Such a young fearless rebel,
mischief and mayhem always seem to follow
Wonder who made the bathroom toilets explode
Plead your rebellious cause,
explain the flooded basement hall
The cost of educating you ain't small,
but it do give the principal pause
Your substitute teacher is scared,
her students said she was hiding under a chair
She believes you are the reason she's losing her hair
School counselor thinks you're emotionally impaired,
and the faculty want their grievances against you aired
Winsome rebel, how is it you became who you are?
What force forged, then dropped you from a malevolent shooting star?
Angry non-conformist child who was born in the back of a tavern bar
Was with your parents when they were killed by a speeding oncoming car
Got a mad heart that carries such a deep soul searing scar
Gonna burn a blazing path, because a charming rebel can always go far
