Rockin' In Rage - The Who

If I can’t speak my truth for fear of bein' abused

I might as well be a mute, my voice never used

I’ll be maligned, I’ll be distant and trolled

If I can’t be aligned, I’ll be thrown in the cold

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so out on the margin

I’m too old to fight with machetes and blades

I feel like a leper, like handin' my cards in

Like I don’t have the right to join the parades

I’m rockin' in rage, forward and back

My bones disengage, they splinter and crack

Deep fire in the clock in one last rampage

Drop all the lines, I’m rockin' in rage

Rockin' in rage, oh, I won’t leave the stage

Oh, yeah, I’m rockin' in rage

If you can ride it right here, you know how to die

If you can conquer your fear, you’ll get to fly

Ooh, you’ll get to fly

This must be your right, to get it down on the page

You know you must write, you know you must rage

You might learn to fly, get out on the stage

But you might as well lie, unless you can rage

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so out on the margin

I’m too old to fight with machetes and blades

I feel like a leper, like handin' my cards in

Like I don’t have the right to join the parades

I’m rockin' in rage, well past my prime

Denyin' the curtain, wastin' no time

So this is the carver, the death before age

I thought I’d be calm, but I’m rockin' in rage

Rockin' in rage, oh, I won’t leave the stage

I’m rockin' in rage, rockin' in rage

Rockin' in rage, no, I won’t leave the stage

'Cause I’m rockin' in rage

Rockin', oh, my heart in a cage

If I can’t speak my truth for fear of being abused

Might as well be a mute, my voice never used

This must be my right, get it down on the page

I know I must write, I know I must rage

Rage
