Rockin’ in Rage Songtext

von The Who

If I can't speak my truth
For fear of being 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 and we share these in blades
I feel like a leper
Like handing my cards in
Like I don't have the right to join the parades

I'm rockin' in rage, forward and back
My bones is engaged
They splinter and crack

Deep fire in the clock is 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 and we share these in blades
I feel like a leper
Like handing my cards in
Like I don't have the right to join the parades

I'm rockin' in rage
Well past my prime
Denying the curtain
Waiting on 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 rocking' 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
Rage
