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

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...
