Once a Rebel

Night is falling And there on the street In the shadow there stands a man Living hard as the ground under his feet They see but they don't understand So many fools who make a river They fill it deep And they think you'll drown They build a mountain And stand it in your way boy But you take it and you break it down You know they never met you Still they think they're gonna get you Remember what you said boy Once a rebel always a rebel Be a rebel to the end You ain't a runner so don't pretend Once a rebel always a rebel Don't start running don't you hide I'll give you cover I'll stand by your side Don't you run boy - don't you run boy They gonna think you're done boy You're done boy You stand and fight boy 'Cos you're right boy They see you riding And fight against the wind They don't understand just what you do You know in your heart That soon you're gonna win You're a fighter and boy you're true Now they're out to show you When they don't even know you Remember what you said boy Once a rebel always a rebel Be a rebel to the end You ain't a runner so don't pretend Once a rebel always a rebel Don't start running don't you hide I'll give you cover I'll stand by your side Don't you run boy - don't you run boy They gonna think you're done boy You're done boy You stand and fight boy 'Cos you're right boy Once a rebel always a rebel Be a rebel to the end You ain't a runner so don't pretend Don't you run boy - don't you run boy They gonna think you're done boy You're done boy You stand and fight boy 'Cos you're right boy
