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...
