The rebel Songtext

von Dave Sharp

Which side are you on boys
Are you in or are you out
What's the plan where's the action
Is anybody keepin' count
Are you makin' any distance
Through the fogged avenues
Over the miles of desolation
Beneath your old leather shoes

Backed up against a mountain
Stacked as high as old deceit
Take one good look around you
Can you still say that old rocky road to helltown
Is a million miles from where you'll ever be
Can you still say in the bright lights of the city
As Saturday rolls 'round the rails
And you drink another whiskey
There is no way in this world for you to fail

You're like a rebel now
Feel like it's all you've ever been
You're like a rebel now
And for the sake of sweet freedom
I only hope you win
I only hope you win

And so released upon the nation
With a baseball hat and shades
Like so many more before you
No sir you're not afraid
Now as rivers roll against you
As troubled waters rise
One by one all dreams desert you
Maybe it's time to realize
For too long you have been sinkin'
Deep in pit 'a shiftin' sand
Gotta hold tight around your throat
And you know that's when it gets to be like murder
Bustin' you back against the land
Born with a debt that's held in service
Somewhere deep inside the mines
With old mother Jones a singin'
It's more than enough to bury any man alive

You're like a rebel now
Feel like it's all you've ever been
You're like a rebel now
And for the sake of sweet freedom
I only hope you win
I only hope you win

Sweet as all the other
Well everybody knows she's a lot like spear and grind
All the boards are made of tree color
There's no such thing as yours or mine
Are you in or out allthough you're right

You're like a rebel now
Feel like it's all you've ever been
You're like a rebel now
And for the sake of sweet freedom
I only hope you win
I only hope you win
I only hope you win

You're like a rebel now
Feel like it's all you've ever been
You're like a rebel now
And for the sake of sweet freedom
I only hope you win
I only hope you win
I only hope you win
