Rebels Without A Clue

We were there in the back seat 'cause we couldn't go home

We were too young to pay the rent

I was working on the mechanics of the cross-your-heart bra

LBJ was the president.

My pal Travis asked me the next day he said,

"Was it hard to score?"

I lied to him and said, "It was a snap!"

And we laughed as we walked out the door.

Chorus:

We were rebels without a clue

Didn't know where to go or what to do

And the whole generation was feeling it too

We were rebels without a clue.

Buddy Holly was gone and we drank all night long

And listened to his songs

Where do you go in the summer of your junior year

To learn the difference between right and wrong?

Me and the boys just wanted some girls

But we were scared to try a little tenderness

So we souped up our cars and fought in the bars

Like that was gonna get us kissed.

Chorus:

We were rebels without a clue

Didn't know where to go or what to do

And the whole generation was feeling it too

We were rebels without a clue.

Now we got station wagon,

Now we got kids

Still we have no idea

Why we did what we did.

Now we laugh at the predjudicism and we laugh at the punks

And the business men who have fried

And we go around bettin' things would've been a lot different

If James Dean and Elvis hadn't died.

Travis called me up the other day he said,

"Remember that summer at the lake

Where we broke every rule, said the hell with school

'Cause we had had all we could take?"

Chorus:

We were rebels without a clue

Didn't know where to go or what to do

And the whole generation was feeling it too

We were rebels without a clue.

Chorus:

We were rebels without a clue

Didn't know where to go or what to do

And the whole generation was feeling it too

We were rebels without a clue.
