lyrics

Rebel lyrics
I been a-rocking and a-rolling since the day I was born
I ain’t no saint with no crown of thorns
I won’t bow down to anyone alive nor dead
I like nothing more than getting outta my head

They call me a rebel, you know it’s true
A rebel, I could never be like you
They call me a rebel, you know it’s true
A rebel, I could never be like you

Everyone knows ‘bout me in the neighbourhood
Mama, why you always beg me ‘Johnny please be good’
I don’t wanna conform and be like all the rest
And wear a shirt and tie as my Sunday best

I got rings through my ears and through my nose
And tattoo’s from my head to my toes
My blue jeans are torn and covered in blood
I live outside the gates of society’s love

They call me a rebel, you know it’s true
A rebel, I could never be like you
They call me a rebel, you know it’s true
A rebel, I could never be like you

Screw the system and bring revolution to the streets
I hate your ‘Yes sir, no sir, can I kiss your feet’
You may not like what you see
But maybe you secretly wanna be like me
Yeah, maybe you secretly wanna be like me

All the rich dudes don’t care ‘bout us poor
One day Karma will come kicking at their door
Rattling their jewellery with their noses in the air
They have no compassion, no none to spare

They call me a rebel, you know it’s true
A rebel, I could never be like you
They call me a rebel, you know it’s true
A rebel, I could never be like you

All the Masons and bankers controlling this land
Know your every move you gotta understand
Watching you through your phone, screen and CTV
There’s no place that you cannot be seen

Soon you’ll have a chip implanted in your arm
They’ll bribe the media not to raise the alarm
And your pockets they’ll be empty of cash
As soon as you use your card they’ll know in a flash

And yes I’m a rebel, for sure it’s true
A rebel, but I never wanna be like you
And yes I’m a rebel, I know it’s true
A rebel, I never wanna be like you
No, no, no, I never wanna be like you

Is it too late to take back control
And dig yourselves outta this deep dark hole
Your days of free-will are long long gone
Blindly following leaders is totally wrong

Come on rebel like me and open your eyes
Become a rebel not fooled by their lies
A rebel with a non-conformist brain
Not tied to society with a ball and chain

And yes I’m a rebel, for sure it’s true
A rebel, but I never wanna be like you
And yes I’m a rebel, I know it’s true
A rebel, I never wanna be like you
No, no, no, I never wanna be like you
