Rebels With A Cause Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys

As a point of conversation, he was referencing relation 

From the corner he came from, the company he'd keep 

She was from the country far from the city 

They shared one love, they were destined for defeat 

He was tortured he was troubled 

She was sick and she was lost 

Searching for an answer, rebels with a cause 

Doing what they do to get what they need 

Life was cheap, there were no guarantees 

Dead-end kids, you don't want, 'em you don't need 'em 

And you'll always find a reason when you need to write 'em off 

Dead-end kids, you can take 'em, you can leave 'em 

You said they'd never listen, you said they'd be better off 

But we believed in you, we knew it from the start 

Hey kid, you've got heart 

They were wretched they were raw, they were tough and they were mean 

They were scared they were cold, they were somewhere in between 

Looking for a chance from someone who believed 

Remember what you see ain't what always what it seems 

So give a kid hand, lift him up and dust him off 

Many will stumble others will be lost 

For all who failed so many would succeed 

Don't be angry at the kids, be angry at the greed 

Dead-end kids, you don't want, 'em you don't need 'em 

And you'll always find a reason when you need to write 'em off 

Dead-end kids, you can take 'em, you can leave 'em 

You said they'd never listen, you said they'd be better off 

But we believed in you, we knew it from the start 

Hey kid, you've got heart 

Dead-end kids (you don't want 'em you don't need 'em) 

Dead-end kids (you'll always write 'em off) 

Dead-end kids (you can take 'em you can leave 'em) 

Dead-end kids (you said they'd be better off) 

Dead-end kids, you don't want 'em you, don't need 'em 

And you'll always find a reason when you need to write 'em off 

Dead-end kids, you can take 'em, you can leave 'em 

You said they'd never listen, you said they'd be better off 

Dead-end kids, you don't want 'em, you don't need 'em 

And you'll always find a reason when you need to write 'em off 

Dead-end kids, you can take 'em, you can leave 'em 

You said they'd never listen you said they'd be better off 

But we believed in you, we knew it from the start 

Hey kid, you've got heart
