Deception
Disgrace [Ruined his family name]
Evil as plain as the scar on his face [After he was beaten by the Socs. He still has the scar]
Deception (An outrage!)
(He can't change his stripes!) [Once a hood always a hood]
Disgrace (For shame!)
(You know these Outsider types!) [He is a greaser so he is automatically an outcast]
He asked for trouble the moment he came [The moment he joined the Greasers]
(See you later, agitator!)
Deception (An outrage!)
(Just leave us alone!) [They just want him to go away, maybe even just die]
Disgrace (For shame!)
(Traitor, go back with your own!) [Go back to the hoods, that is what society sees the Greasers as]
He asked for trouble the moment he came
(See you later, agitator!)
Born in grief
Raised in hate [Constantly belted by his father and ignored by his mother]
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run [Runs, away to the church]
Let him live
But do not forget
What we cannot forgive [Killing Bob]
And he is not one of us [Not a part of society]
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us
Not our kind [They have never seen him as the same being as them]
Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done [They expect the worse from Greasers, and that is exactly what they got]
And we know that he'll never be one of us
He is not one of us
Deception
Disgrace [To Society]
Deception
Disgrace [To life]
Deception









I hear someone’s voice from far away [The Socs asking for a fight]
One after another the warriors get pumped up [The warriors are the Greasers]
On a street that only comes back [Something that always happens, it comes back to the same thing every time]
When will you be ready to go [When are you ready to fight]
Are you ready?
The wind blows from my heart throughout my body [While they are running to the fight]
Violent energy rings stomping [Their hatred for the Socs]
Resist it, raise the moon, call me [Resist the urge to fight. Raise your mind against the rage. Call the gang for help]
Forget trying to change too much story [Telling society not to try and change them]
Come on, everybody stand up [Greasers get ready to fight]
Stand up, the nest time is today [Nest time today, is making a home for themselves]
Move with blinding speed [Run to the fight quickly]
Don’t slow everyone down [Don’t be a weight on the group, move together]
Come on, everybody hands up [Celebrate]
Our heroes will come back tomorrow [The heroes they talk about, are people who will understand them]
Count down the average days [Days you are discriminated against]
Lets go, 3-2-1 make some noise
Hey, yo, you ready to stick with this place? [The place is their position in the gang]
You gotta get back up
No matter how far you fall! [No matter what they say, or how bad your beaten you have to continue]
You’ve noticed those feelings [feelings that you have to continue no matter what]
That are now inside of you
Haven’t you?
The cheers that rise up give you courage [The cheers are from other people in their position]
You’ll suffer now as you stand back up [Every time you stand up they tear you down]
But I’m sure you can make it to the top! [Eventually society will respect them]
Push it all away, and feel the thrill of victory! [Push away your fears and try and get respect]
Everybody stand up
Stand up, the best time is today!
Move with blinding speed
Don’t slow everyone down
Come on, everybody hands up
Our heroes will come back tomorrow
Count down the average days
Let’s go, 3-2-1 make some noise


Within the spreading darkness, [The movie theatre]
we exchanged vows of revolution [We is Ponyboy and Johnny. They make a decision to change the world]
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved [The socs are the flowers. Their parents loved them so much that they didn’t want to put boundaries on them]
Because I can’t let anyone interfere [The socs or society will try to interfere]
With everything that’ll come about from now on
The future that the fruit [The fruit is Cherry. The future is that Greasers can get respect, and the Socs evil deed will be exposed]
told me of
The city that has forgotten reasoning [The society is corrupt and doesn’t see the evil deeds of the rich]
The present is distorted black [How everything in society is]
Dreams, turn into ideals [Dream of getting respect and exposing the Socs. That is now what they are striving for]
Why? Am I a broken Messiah?
Everyone wished for a “finale”… [The finale is that the fighting in
Within the spreading darkness,
we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
I can’t let anyone interfere
With everything that’ll come about from now on
Someday, I’ll show you a shining sky [A time where evil deeds are punished no matter what class]
Why? Am I a broken Messiah?
Everyone dreamt of a “paradise”… [Everything is fair and just]
Within the spreading
darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
I can’t let anyone interfere
With everything that’ll come about from now on
Someday, I’ll show you a shining world [A world where people are just people, and you aren’t judged by your looks]
