Apparently it was just about teenager rebellion. Or trying to encapsulate the rebellious attitude that teenagers hold.

I always thought it was about the counterculture of the 60s but after a quick Google search it seems as if no one else has made that connection.

I'm not the biggest TRex fan (well actually this is the only song of theirs I know) but I have always liked this song. Just because in my mind, I had it romantically linked to 60's youths challenging the orthodoxy of the establishment and (for the most part) winning.
