Rebel Land Songtext

von Prefab Sprout

Saw my young face on a picture
Would he recognise me now?
Oh, but I doubt it
For he was fierce, fierce and unforgiving

Saw her young face on that picture
She really had the horniest eyes
Now they are blunted
Blunted with living
Living with compromise

Time deal us all compassion
These cards are for other men

Back here in rebel land, we've all the failure we can stand
Back here in rebel land, we've all the failure we can stand
Back here in rebel land, we've all the failure we can stand
Back here in rebel land, we've all the failure we can stand
Back here in rebel land

Some might say we're disappointed
Some might say we were betrayed
Ahh, nothing doin'
That's how it goes
That's how it's played

There's nothing world exclusive about losing a worldly cause

Back here in rebel land, we've all the failure we can stand
