you wanna get away but not too far hanging around, just playing guitar i miss the simpler days of an innocent life i'm finding myself always wishing on a star [Chorus] this is a day in the life of a rebel another day in the life of a man who's got nothing inside but his friends by his side and a bottle of hope in hand this is the day in the life of a rebel another day in the life of a man who's got nothing inside but his friends by his side a bottle in his hand swinging back hoping for a taste of the past i'm living everyday like i'm living the last none of their rules are gonna keep me down cause pretty soon i'm gonna be 6 feet down so i'll wake up every morning and not open my eyes i'll never ask you questions when you tell me your lies some people wanna know "why are we here?" i guess the question is "why do we even care?" [Repeat chorus]
