Rebel
Crashdïet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just a boy with a gun in my hand
I try to talk to people
But they don't understand

I've read the papers I've seen the news
And I just don't know which road to choose

I can't stop life bringin me down
So I get up on the table and shout it out

I'm rebel
I'm rebel without a cause
A rebel without law
Rebel

I've been to school yeah I've learned the blues
But that's about all that I could use

I can't stop to mess around
Cause I just don't fit with what's around

We can't help life is bringin us down
So get up on that table and shout it out

I'm rebel
I'm rebel
I'm rebel without a cause
A rebel without law
I'm rebel
Rebel
Get your paws out I'm ready to score
A devil is at your door
Rebel

Is this shit life all you can get
Locked up in a cage like some fuckin pet
Get up on the roof tops break down the doors
Scream I'm tired of livin like a fuckin whore

I'm rebel
I'm rebel
I'm rebel without a cause
A rebel without law
I'm rebel
Rebel
Get your paws out I'm ready to score




A devil is at your door
Rebel
