2) The Rebels were a 60's garage rock band from Iran.
Before Prince formed The Time, he considered using his backing band as a side-project called The Rebels. The 1979 project was a group effort, with songs being written and sung by the various members. Andre Cymone and Dez Dickerson each contributed material and a few numbers were sung by Gayle Chapman. The project was eventually shelved but two of the songs composed by Prince were re-recorded and released much later: "If I Love U 2 Night" by Mica Paris (and later by Prince's wife-to-be Mayte Garcia) and "U" by Paula Abdul. The original Prince guide vocal for "If I Love U 2 Nite" appeared by mistake on the rare Mica Paris 'Stand For Love' EP, of which only a handful exist.
3) The Rebels were the Prague (Czech republic) group, founded in July 1967 Korn (vocals, guitar) and Svatopluk Cech, brother Frantisek Ringo Cech (vocals, bass guitar). The Rebels played in the "west-coast style" with elements of "Britain's Mersey sound".

The lyrics of The RebelS song, "All I Want," speak of the struggles and the pain of individuals living in a world that is torn by conflicts and wars. The first two lines of the song ask if there's room for one more son, implying a plea for help in a world where there seems to be no escape from pain and suffering. The chorus of the song, "I got soul but I'm not a soldier," conveys the message that the singer may be strong and robust, but they are not here to engage in battle or wars. The lines "From peace in the world, I'm a big supporter; All these kids wanna drink his water; But the conflict destroys the bricks and mortar" reflect the heartbreaking truth of how wars impact innocent people, especially children.
The song talks about how love is a powerful force that can help people cope with challenges, but love is something that needs to be taught and learned. The lyrics suggest that individuals who lack love are more likely to resort to violence and aggression, leading to war and destruction. The song ends on a hopeful note that speaks of how the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight, and one day the world will be a better place.
Line by Line Meaning
When there's nowhere else to run
When you're at the end of your rope
Is there room for one more son
Is there still a chance for one more person
If you just hold on
If you can remain steadfast
I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I have spirit, but I am not a combatant
From peace in the world, I'm a big supporter
I am a strong advocate for world peace
All these kids wanna drink his water
Many people are in need of basic necessities
But the conflict destroys the bricks and mortar
Warfare destroys homes and infrastructure
See pain in their eyes I can feel the torcher
Witnessing others' suffering is emotionally taxing
Listen, you got no love 'cause you never received it
You lack love because you were not given love
And that's 'cause you never did teach it
You cannot give love if you were not taught how
Preach this, lets the kids go
Advocate for ending harm to children
'Cause love is a potion trapped in a soul
Love is a powerful and essential human quality
When you think your battles are won
When you think you've overcome your challenges
Then you find it's left undone, left undone
Realize there is still much work to be done
If you can't hold on,
If you cannot endure
See me I'm the type that will die for a cause
I am willing to sacrifice my life for a purpose
But no kids will die for a war
Children should not have to suffer because of war
Let fight for a cause, pray for a better days
Advocate and hope for a better future
When going gets tough there's a better way
When things get difficult, there is always a better solution
Fasze you now you been there when there's a better days
Encouraging a friend who has been through tough times
Normal pain my life's gotta better page
My past struggles will lead to a better future
Let them breath in air don't chock them
Give people the freedom to live and breathe
I got souls so my heart stays open
I have empathy and compassion for others
Stop the wars let the kids incorpen
End war and violence to allow children to grow and succeed
I seen light look over the ocean
I have witnessed beauty and hope in the world
Yea yea yea yea
Vocalization
Yeah you now you gotta help me out
Asking for assistance
Yeah oh don't you put me on the back burn no
Asking not to be ignored
Over and in, let us call for sin
Advocate for justice and goodness
Where everyone loves the battle is one
Where there is love, there is unity and victory
With all these things that I have done
Despite the challenges and struggles I have faced
