Lyrics

Singing Won't Save You

Once there was a little girl
who thought she could take on the entire world
She spilt her heart out to the crowd
Her head was stuck in mushroom cloud

She sang about conformity
How she preferred the contrary
Sang songs about economy
And how much better it would be
In a world without prejudice
And equal opportunity

She turned to me and she said
I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore
She turned to me and she said
I'm just a rebel without a cause
Deep in your heart there's a fire that burns
And the people in charge will take it in turns
To fuck up your life and they're not concerned
With the words you sing
Girl you need to scream

She gave hope to the World
When the World though that passion had died
And fashion was in
She caught the world's attention
when they caught her taking heroin.
She instantly turned all that hope
to coke and alcohol and dope.
And those who still looked up to her
saw brilliance fuelled by the drugs
But she doesn't realise what she'd done
despite the junkie generation.

She turned to me and she said
I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore
She turned to me and she said
I'm just a rebel without a cause
Deep in your heart there's a fire that burns
And the people in charge will take it in turns
To fuck up your life and they're not concerned
With the words you sing
Girl you need to scream

She turned to me and she said
I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore
She turned to me and she said
I'm just a rebel without a cause
Deep in your heart there's a fire that burns
And the people in charge will take it in turns
To fuck up your life and they're not concerned
With the words you sing
Girl you need to scream
To fulfil your dreams
