lyrics

Myth of Rebellion
Words & Music by John DeLore

Diamonds on a television, trouble on my mind.
But this trouble ain’t nothin’ next to what I left behind.

Heaven is a sweet thing, beauty is her crime.
But this heaven ain’t nothin’ like the one she left behind.

This is the myth of rebellion.
This is the eye of the storm, baby.
Out here in the ocean
You better find a body who can keep a body warm.

Whiskey for the woman, honey for the child.
But this mercy ain’t nothin’ like the mercy out in the wild.

Soldier, can you spare a moment?
Mother, could you sing?
Could you sing the one about the mockingbird
And the diamond ring?

This is the myth of rebellion.
This is the eye of the storm, baby.
Out here in the ocean
You better find a body who can keep a body warm.

Diamonds in another vision.
Diamonds in my spine.
Diamonds in the air around me.
Diamonds in my mind.
Diamonds! Diamonds!
Mercy! Mercy!

This is the myth of rebellion.
This is the eye of the storm, baby.
Out here in the ocean
You better find a body who can keep a body.
