Got To Be A Rebel

Up comes the sun so the human eye can see what's survived
This is not through machines or a face on a screen
This is live, this is real, this is real life blood on twisted steel
It is all that remains of a life that had been
Oh what have we done?
Have we won?
Oh what have we done?
That was somebody's father, that was someone's son
Well they tell you it's alright
And you can sleep at night
With justice on your side
And ballot boxes
Mr and Mrs Jones
And a billion other clones
Are all safely in their homes
For all their talk they will not stir their bones
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
When freedom's hijacked by the devil
I know I've got to be a rebel

So they say that they pray and that our sweet Lord will save their day
I don't know what they read in the words that He said
But if they'd been alive they'd be in that crowd shouting "crucify"
And they'd think they were right as they watched Him die
Oh what have they done to our Lord
Oh they bless themselves
While delivering consignments of modern swords
We support you if we like
If you're wrong or if you're right
Just as long as you can fight
To our advantage
We'll rebuild your towns
We'll equip your farms
And we'll supply your arms
So you can put your starving people down
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
When freedom's hijacked by the devil
I know I've got to be a rebel

Oh what have they done to our minds?
Oh just let us see what's left behind
Well they tell you it's alright
And you can sleep at night
With justice on your side
And ballot boxes
Mr and Mrs Jones
And a billion other clones
Are all safely in their homes
For all their talk they will not stir their bones
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
When freedom's hijacked by the devil
I know I've got to be a rebel

Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
When freedom's hijacked by the devil
I know I've got to be a rebel
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
Yeah yeah I've got to be a rebel
When freedom's hijacked by the devil
I know I've got to be a rebel
