This is a fun, upbeat acoustic rocker that morphs into an implied Disco beat ending with a tongue-in-cheek rap. So, you tell me the genre. You might ask, "What's a contrarian?" It's someone who marches to the beat of their own drum.

Lyrics
Contrarian by Fremont John 2013
I never settle for the usual.
I never settle at all.
A non-conforming individual,
Despite your judgment call.
Don't need a reason just to be myself.
Ain't got no flaws to explain (to you)
I never try to be like someone else.
Cause that seems insane.
They call me Contrarian. I see no reason to blend
Might even vote Libertarian to see the status-quo bend.
They call me Contrarian. I don't fit in with the crowd.
Until I'm ready for buryin', I'll wear this odd-ball label loud and proud.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Uh-uh!
March to a different drum than you.
An off-beat cadence I hear.
The road less traveled is the one I choose.
Authentic paths are clear.
I like my rock without Stones
Don't want your popular brew.
Keep your Bud I'll have a Rolling Rock.
Til you start drinkin' it too.
They call me Contrarian. I see no reason to blend
Might even vote Libertarian to see the status-quo bend.
They call me Contrarian. I don't fit in with the crowd.
Until I'm ready for buryin', I'll wear this odd-ball label loud and proud.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Uh-uh!
They call me Contrarian (Contrarian)
They call me Contrarian (Contrarian)
They call me Contrarian (Contrarian)
Oh...... (repeat)
