|
I made my way back to the old town
|
And everything looked the same
|
The shops and the schools and the factories were there
|
But somehow the faces had changed
|
So I went for a walk in the high streets
|
Took my coat off and rolled up my sleeves
|
I thought of my father and his father before him
|
And how I was the first one to leave
|
|
Well I didn't come here for forgiveness
|
There isn't a lot I can say
|
'cause I remember the reasons I first ran away
|
|
Chorus
|
I'm a rebel
|
Just a rebel
|
Got my back to the wall
|
Gonna fight 'til I fall
|
I'm a rebel
|
|
When it comes time for leavin'
|
Don't stand in my way
|
|
Don't ever look back - don't surrender
|
The old men say they've seen it before
|
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends
|
Who didn't come back from the war
|
|
Don't say I'm too young to remember
|
don't tell me what's wrong or what's right
|
Just give me a chance to go out there and fight
|
|
Chorus
|
|
When it comes time for leavin'
|
Don't stand in my way
|
There's nothing left for me here
|
Gonna run, run away
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Just a rebel
|
Just a rebel
|
I'm a rebel...
