Began my life clean in braids and fresh scrubbed
In spite of the noise I always felt loved
But I got bored, I took a mojor detour.

Games get old even for a child
When you are born with the sweet taste to be wild
When I heard my first rock and roll song

I knew something big was going on.
I turned thirteen and I tried smoking pot
It was Halloween so we didn't get caught

Dressed up like hobos and hookers
Eating candy like crooks in the bushes.


CHORUS:
We are rebellious, we tried everything once
and maybe more

We are rebellious, we do life until we are sore

Then the Grateful Dead came to me like a wave on the air

I didn't shave my legs for at least two years
One year of college tripping on the sky
Draped in silkscreen, tapestry and tye-dye.

I took a bus to Los Angeles all by myself
I left reality on a green childhood shelf
My best friend Robbie gone and robbed a bank

He gave me money and I just said thanks.

REPEAT CHORUS


Rebellious Young Women


Then I went home unrecognizable
My mother said "What happened? You used to be beautiful"
I dyed my hair and I got tattooed

And I let my body be recklessly used.
Will I surrender and learn to fight
Like camoflauge through the dark and the light

From the bottom of my dreams comes the sound
I wear my music like a broken crown.
