You ruined your body through excess of caution. You were cursed with a practical heart.
While your girlfriends were swept up by passion, you learned to play the popular part.

You bragged you blazed a pioneer path. It led straight to the hipster salon.
You got married. In the aftermath, you left your husband one night in Milan.

You say you're a rebel. You live like the poor,
While denying the devil
Outside your door.

You embrace all of the popular causes. All the non-profits know your name.
Your nightmares full of burning crosses keep your imagination enflamed.

You say you're a rebel. You live like the poor,
While denying the devil
Inside your door.

The men you choose, revealed as boys.
All their music, it's all just noise.

Instrumental section

You say you're a rebel. You live like the poor,
While denying the devil
Who sleeps on your floor.
