Among other things, it seems that there is rebellion latent within us. This isn't necessarily negative, but there is a drive that leads us to want to be different. to question. some are more aware of it than others. with some you can see the rebellion through their actions. This rebellion is said to hit us in our teens, and it does... but it is also there in the rest of life too, but it's just so ingrained in us it no longer feels like we're rebels. What is rebellion? going against the majority... to put it simply. personally, i can feel it. sometimes when you rebel, it is more against yourself than anything... rebelling against the majority of your old views... i can feel it in my stomach, a positive, but whoa, am I really doing this? type of feeling. like when I stand up for what I believe in for once. i always feel better afterwards... I have progressed to positive rebels. it reminds me of Lauryn Hill...

I find it hard to say that everything is alright
Dont look at me that way like everything is alright
Cause my own eyes can see through all your false pretenses
But what you fail to see is all the consequences
You think our lives are cheap and easy to be wasted
As history repeats so foul you can taste it

And while the people sleep to comfortable to face it
His life’s so incomplete and nothing can replace it
And while the people sleep to comfortable to face it
your life’s so incomplete and nothing can replace it

fret not thyself i say against these laws of man
cause like the bible says his blood is on their hands
and what i gotta say, and what I gotta say is rebel,
while today is still today, choose well
and what i got a say, is rebel
it cant go down this way, choose well, choose well,
choose well, choose well, choose well, choose well

And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
your life’s so incomplete and nothing and no one can replace it
oh no no no no no no no
and what I gotta say (x8) is rebel (x6)....
repent, the day is far too spent,
rebel, rebel
wake up (x8) and rebel
we must destroy in order to rebuild
wake up you might as well
are you, are you satisfied,
are you satisfied, rebel

ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh rebel

why dont you rebel? (x3)
