[00:00.28]
[00:01.18]He made his way back to the old town
[00:05.59]And everything looked just the same,
[00:09.59]The shops and the schools and the factories were there,
[00:13.76]But somehow the faces had changed.
[00:17.68]So he went for a walk in the high street,
[00:21.91]Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves,
[00:26.37]He thought of his father and his father before him
[00:30.45]And how he was the first one to leave.
[00:33.35]
[00:34.35]Well, he didn't come here for forgiveness,
[00:38.57]There isn't a lot they can say
[00:42.61]'Cause I remember the reasons
[00:45.05]He first ran away.
[00:46.74]
[00:47.03]He's a rebel, just a rebel,
[00:54.87]Got his back to the wall,
[00:57.42]Gonna fight till he falls,
[00:59.36]He's a rebel.
[01:01.15]
[01:03.65]Don't ever look back, don't surrender,
[01:07.65]The old men say they've seen it before,
[01:11.91]Oh, they drink their beer and they talk about friends
[01:16.51]Who didn't come back from the war.
[01:20.21]Don't say he's too young to remember,
[01:24.37]Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right,
[01:28.50]Just give him a chance
[01:30.83]To go out there and fight.
[01:32.75]He's a rebel, just a rebel,
[01:40.70]All the battles are won,
[01:43.17]But he's still on the run,
[01:45.25]He's a rebel.
[01:49.37]
[02:07.26]When it comes time for leavin,
[02:11.31]Don't stand in my way,
[02:15.26]There's nothin' left for me here,
[02:17.51]Gonna run, run away.
[02:22.61]
[02:31.34]In the mornin' he walks past the old house,
[02:35.35]In the rain under grey northern skies,
[02:39.49]There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate,
[02:43.69]But there's more here than first meets the eye.
[02:46.78]
[02:47.80]For a moment he stands undecided,
[02:51.99]Lookin' back on the days of his youth,
[02:56.42]As two worlds collide
[02:58.32]In a moment of truth.
[03:00.31]He's a rebel, just a rebel,
[03:08.40]Got his back to the wall,
[03:10.72]Gonna fight till he falls,
[03:12.78]He's a rebel. just a rebel,
[03:19.40]
[03:29.47]He's a rebel...
