I a Rebel Soul - Aswad

They say I won't make it to the top of the hill Won't take the fruit off the tree And everybody says I'm out for the kill They're all laughing at me They're all laughing at me I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel And they're all laughing at me They say I'm a danger to the public and all I only wish they would see I'm just the product of a screwed up world But they're all, they're all laughing at me But they're all laughing at me I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel But they're all laughing at me Never ever wash my old blue jeans And brush the smile off my face But still I'm a member of the human race Human race, human race, human race I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you know, know, know? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? (Don't you know) I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel And they're all laughing at me Don't you know I'm a rebel, come on I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? (Don't you know) I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it? (I'm a rebel) I'm a rebel, rebel Don't you know Why don't you know?

Oh, I'm a good old Rebel Now that's just what I am. For this Yankee nation I do not give a damn. I'm glad I fought agin her, I only wish we'd won. I ain't asked any pardon For anything I've done. I hates the yankee nation And everything they do, I hates the declaration Of independence, too; I hates the glorious union- 'Tis dripping with our blood- And I hates their striped banner, I fought it all I could. I rode with Robert E. Lee, For three years, thereabouts. Got wounded in four places And starved at Point Lookout. I caughts the rheumatism A-camping in the snow. But I killed a chance of Yankees And I'd like to kill some mo'. Three hundred thousand Yankees Lie still in Southern dust We got three hundred thousand Before they conquered us. They died of Southern fever And Southern steel and shot. I wish they were three millions Instead of what we got. I can't take up my musket And fight 'em now no more, But I ain't going to love 'em, Now that is certain sure; I don't want no pardon For what I was and am, I won't be reconstructed And I do not give a damn.

Living in this crazy world, so caught up in the confusion Nothing is-a making sense for me and you But maybe if we find a way, there is got to be the solution How to make a brighter day? What do we do? We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together Only we can make it better Only if we try Got the words on our minds, got the troubles on our shoulders Sometimes it just seems so much what we go through But maybe if we take the time, time to understand each other We can learn to make it right, what do we do? We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together Only we can make it better Only if we try Only we can make it better Only if we try If everybody took somebody by the hand Then maybe everyone could learn to love and understand We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together We've got to give a little love, have a little hope Let's make this world a little better Try a little more, harder than before Let's do what we can do together Only we can make it better Only if we try Only we can make it better Only if we try Give a little love, give a little love Give a little love, give a little love Give a little love
