You know there are other people looking out for you
Hoping that you find a better way to even up the scores
Instead of bury the truth

Oh, oh, but you’re a rebel
You don’t want my help tonight
Too afraid to show yourself in the light
I know that you’ll fight till the day
Till the day this old rebel dies

Rebel, rebel, rebel,
You're a rebel, oh
You're a rebel, rebel, rebel,
If I ever knew you at all

You're a rebel
You’ve got your grease stains on your tee shirt
You’ve got sweat on your palms
You’re wearing a mask that I can’t see anymore
You have made yourself so unavailable
You look like you’re torn
If I didn’t know you babe, I’d think I never knew you at all

You are a rebel
You don’t want my help tonight
You just want someone by your side
I know that you’ll fight till the day
Till the day that the rebel dies

Rebel, rebel, rebel,
You're a rebel, oh
You're a rebel, rebel, rebel,
If I ever knew you at all

You're a rebel

And I know it may be too much to ask you
Baby, let me unmask you before it’s too late
Oh, I know it won’t be long till that day
Till the day this old rebel dies

Rebel, rebel, rebel,
You're a rebel, oh
You're a rebel, rebel, rebel,
If I ever knew you at all

You're a rebel
