Renegade

You turn you weary eyes to watch The changing of the avant-garde Everyone's marching to the new drummer But you walk alone and each step comes hard Frenzied followers of fads and fashions Passing passions and political views They choose their words like they choose their clothes But those poses just aren't you Renegade your youth is gone Renegade still you fight on Renegade your spirit's strong You just refuse to fade Renegade Now you don't hear much from your college friends Who spoke out and stood their ground They've turned into couples Beneath security blankets Of suburban silence they lie down Some play their cards right Make their bid for the top Of the jacket and tie society But you can't bring yourself to follow suit There's so much more you have to be Renegade your youth is gone Renegade still you fight on Renegade your spirit's strong You just refuse to fade Renegade You're a pacifist with violent emotions Your devotion is always strong That anger of old still fills your eyes When you see human rights being wronged You're a wise man and a sentimental fool To you friendship is more than a phase Your decade's gone but you fight on Though you're lonely and afraid Renegade your youth is gone Renegade still you fight on Renegade your spirit's strong You just refuse to fade Renegade Renegade your youth is gone Renegade still you fight on Renegade your spirit's strong You just refuse to fade Renegade
