She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whats her name

She's the symbol
Of resistance
And she's holding on my
Heart like a hand grenade

Is she dreaming
What I'm thinking
Is she the mother of all bombs
Gonna detonate

Is she trouble
Like I'm trouble
Make it a double
Twist of fate
Or a melody that

Sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation
That I just can't define
Nothing comes to mind

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel
She's a rebel
She's a rebel
And she's dangerous
She's a rebel
She's a rebel
She's a rebel
And she's dangerous

    I like how Give Me Novacaine leads right into it. It kind of a hint at the fact that Whatsername is Jimmy's new drug of choice. The lyrics seem to only flatter her in his eyes, intoxication and infatuation on his part.

    The line, "the dawning of our lives" is a reference back to the song Holiday, where our hero can't imagine having to live under the present adminstration.

    She actually offers hope (in a very personal way) for the future: "she brings the liberation"

    It's all a set-up, of course, for tracks 9, 10 ,11, fuck the whole album is brilliantly composed.
