What are you going to be?

The story about punks being successful reminds me of Vad Ska Du Bli? From Ebba Grön.

What are you going to be?

What are you going to be when you grow up
Are you going to be like Mom and Dad
Are you going to be a boss
A salesman
Or a manager someplace
Or maybe you’ll be happy with
Whatever shit-job comes along
You just don’t care
Things will be how they’ll be
What are you going to be

Now you are young and fucking rebellious
When the going gets tough, you get tougher
You know exactly what you want
And you don’t want to be one of them

Continue, continue, and continue to be a rebel
Continue, continue, and continue to be yourself
Continue, continue, and continue to be a rebel

What about your future though
How are things going to be in a few years
Are you going to sink into a la-z-boy
What’s going to happen to you
What are you going to be

Get up-go to work-work-work-eat lunch
Same thing happens tomorrow
Work-take the train home-sit and stare
That’s no life
That’s slavery

Get up-go to work-work-work-eat lunch
Same thing happens tomorrow
Work-take the train home-sit and stare
That’s no life
That’s slavery

Continue, continue, and continue to be a rebel
Continue, continue, and continue to be yourself
Continue, continue, and continue to be a rebel
