Analysis of Rogue Writer
I talk all about myself
And you talk about me too
The funny thing is
I have never talked about you
If it makes you feel good
And it's what you need to do
Then take your best shot
Why not take two
Cause I'm a rogue writer
Don't follow any rules
I'm a freedom fighter
These words are my tools
You think my words are shallow
In a primitive kind of way
But you'll just cut yourself
With your double edge blade
And I stand in the mirror
Facing my own fears
And when the student's ready
My teacher disappears
Cause I'm a rogue writer
Don't follow any rules
I'm a freedom fighter
These words are my tools
Love is my foundation
Oneness is my creed
Don't bring me your religion
That's something you must need
I listen to your thoughts
I stand behind your cares
When you stomp my toes
I say a little prayer
Cause I'm a rogue writer
Don't follow any rules
I'm a freedom fighter
These words are my tools
If one becomes wounded
Near the temple he has built
Let him feel his shame
Let him recognize his guilt
Let him find his kindness
In the words he will choose
And maybe then one day
He'll be a freedom fighter too
Cause I'm a rogue writer
Don't follow any rules
I'm a freedom fighter
These words are my tools
