So Rebel
Fortunate Youth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

oh there was a time, when being rebels changed our lives, oh fighting for the way we live or die, united is the way the way we strive
I remember when I was a young man growing up with not much luck but I never gave up, I wondered oh of all, just look on how they fall, but now that we're down, there's only one way to look up now, they say its not where we end its where we are, your a fighting rebel oh my little star,
so rebel
so rebel
your so rebel
you stay rebel
all of the time, all of the time

so rebel in the morning when u cannot fill your cup, so rebel when your down and your life is giving up
so rebel when were bound, upon this beaten ground, oh rebel wont you go ya you all feel me now
so rebel
your so rebel
you stay rebel
all of the time, all of the time
for I x4

oh this friend of mine, I see you been through some ruff times, fighting fighting, night and day, fighting fighting, for life, another day
but you see you gotta be strong, now say, life is a love, you learn it some how, I see it proud, until the day, they finally take you away

you're so rebel
you're so rebel
you so rebel
all of the time, all of the time

so rebel in the morning when u cannot fill your cup, so rebel when your down and your life is giving up
so rebel when were bound, upon this beaten ground, oh rebel wont you go ya you all feel me now

so rebel
ya we so rebel
we so rebel
all of the time, all of the time
for I x3


you can hear the hum pounding on the freeway, after the show every night when they play, the lights come down and we go, a different night a different show, we hear that the rebel is the way we wanna see, how everyone knows, how you got to be, I hear the rebel say, every night and every day.

oh you're so rebel
you're so rebel
you so rebel
all of the time, all of the time


so rebel in the morning when u cannot fill your cup, so rebel when your down and your life is giving up
so rebel when were bound, upon this beaten ground, oh rebel wont you go ya you all feel me now
so rebel
your so rebel




you stay rebel
all of the time, all of the time
