Roger Daltrey - Rebel lyrics

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...
