teacup rebellion

i will not comply with the convention

the agenda’s been revised

ah yes! did i mention?

i have been ostracized

i always did beg to differ

so this was just a conclusion

because all i did was suffer

from all the turmoil and confusion

minds held ransom, faces blank

my ideas were fermenting until they stank

i’m not gonna do what is done or what they do

just because you’d want me - nay, love me - to

so guess i’ll take your leave now, ‘fank you
