The Rebel Lyrics

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
