People lay down rules of how we should write
But the freedom of style and designs out right
To do things differently
To swim against the current
To express ourselves uniquely
Why does everyone feel that everything is set in stone
The way that we should write, speak, act I just don’t know
Why are you not using long complicated words?
I like my message clear sometimes and so I use plain prose and verse
Why is work not more abstract where is the symbolism?
Well maybe I strive for greater individualism
I remember being young and music got boring
Then punk reared it’s rebellious head and put to question everything
And now these years on the music is still influenced
In certain quarters even though people said they couldn’t play or sing
But they gave mudic a big shaking
And it was needed
It took away the mystery tha t only certain types could do it
Now like writing everybody believes they can do this
And who’s to say they can’t except literary snobs
But I’ll have my say and put in my ten bob
And say that creativity is lost
When you put in strict parameters and restrict how things should be
I have the great pleasure of a few people following me
That seem to like my words and how I express them
So maybe this is a reflection
That people want something different
Not just the same run of the mill
Maybe they want some yhat they really feel
Resonates with them and connects on some level
And feels like it is real, so yes I will be thd rebel
And write down words that speaks to peoples heart
I am an old punk who remembers how people played their part
Of breathing fresh life in to something some find stale
And breathe new life into by pulling open the vale
Removing the snobbery and the mystery
Write away my friends without fear and just write freely
Write how you wish and refuse to be told
Because the future is in breaking rules and being brave and bold.
