Lyrics Renegade - Ballyhoo!, Ted Bowne

Renegade

Dumbed down for mass consumption, there’s no feeling at all
Dumb sounding crass presumption from the industry mall
I got melodies forever, I’m a retro jukebox
It’s a felony we never see respect, we just kick rocks
But I guess these are the prices when you cling to the 90s
A time when there was substance, that’s when we started grinding
I’m a renegade
Oh, 'cause I’m a renegade
'Cause I’m a renegade
Oh, I’m just a renegade
(Oh)
Stick to your guns when someone tells you to drop it
'Cause you got a vision and now they’re trying to stop it
You’re bound to hit bottom when you’re trying rock it
But there’s plenty of stone, pick up your hammer and knock it
They think they know what’s best
Keep your creations close to your chest
'Cause it’s the only way that I can stay elevated
And pride is just priceless, can’t afford to go change it
I’m a renegade
Oh, 'cause I’m a renegade
'Cause I’m a renegade
Oh, I’m just a renegade
(Oh)
Renegade
Wanna retain my sanity, stay in love with this serenade
Gonna go down with the ship through the crushing abyss
Disarray from the stupid mistakes and career smoke grenades
Sail away
Got my own crusade, I will not be played
Why do they think they know what’s best for me?
My hand, it moves for no one else, hey
Get up and drive and move it inside, do the same thing every day
(Every day)
Light up the vibe and move it outside, get rest and then replay
(Then replay)
Take another hit for the team, make sure you mean just what you say
(What you say)
Sell out the spot with a line around the block, get paid with no delay
'Cause I’m a renegade
Oh, 'cause I’m a renegade
'Cause I’m a renegade
Oh, I’m just a renegade
(Oh)
Renegade
Wanna retain my sanity, stay in love with this serenade
Gonna go down with the ship through the crushing abyss
Disarray from the stupid mistakes and career smoke grenades
Sail away
Got my own crusade, I will not be played
