The Ageing Young Rebel - DJ Food, Ken Nordine

An Ageing Young Rebel

Called What’s His Name

Wanted to be different

While he stayed the same

That he couldn’t

He just couldn’t

No matter what he would try

Told by his mother

An ageing old thing

You better go see Clever

You give Clever a ring

Which he did

Called him up

Just so Mommy wouldn’t cry

Clever heard his story

About different and the same

You crazy

This some silly game

Oh no, no it ain’t

Like Mommy said

You gotta straiten up my head

Clever is so clever

Is your cleverness enough

Can you help this ageing rebel

Do you really have the stuff

Bet you don’t have

Bet the bread that you’ll pass the buck instead

Clever sends our hero

To a funny darken room

Where a crowd of Cunning listens

Giggles in the gloom

That’s your problem ageing rebel

Don’t you really know the score

You crazy, you think you’re gonna change this silly world

Better see yourself a shrink

Cunningly they argue about our boy

Who’s breaking down the door

Now he’s running down the dark

Diabolical awaits

Grabs him by the ankle

Ain’t it just like fate

Diabolical laughs

In an alley full of suit

Forget the same

You’ll be different now

Somewhat shorter on one side

Let go

Oh no

Would you diabolical inside

Panic in his brain pulls and gets away

Losses him a foot

It’s a dark and evil day

See him running, limping blood

Something soft is just ahead

Something soft is Gentle

He’s fallen at her side

She comforts him with kisses

He dreams of suicide

Gentle is so gentle

Grabs the trouble by its root

Bandages his stump

Cuts off his other foot

So you see, it seems to me, a gentle kind of cruelty

Ageing rebel’s older, a little wiser maybe too

Gentleness has fixed him

Does he look like me and you

Footless and fancy free

Think how happy Mom will be

Footless and fancy free

Think how happy Mom will be
