Rebel Beat

Must have been 12 years ago
on my way to the punk rock show
on a winding road no turning back
drinking beer by the railroad tracks
They all said that it was absurd
but I couldn't hear a single fucking word
all I made out above the roar of the street
was the roots and rock and the rebel beat
It was passion and a simmering urgency
that was absent from the culture surrounding me
To expose the world for what it was
and largely ignored and pushed aside because
the underground values reality
not monetary status and celebrity
many of us have come and gone
so few remain and the rebel beat beats on
The Rebel Beat beats on
Punk rock primadonna can't recall
what it was like to have nothing at all
took subculture and stripped away all that's real
packaged and prepared for mass appeal
Like Strummer said 'and you think it's funny'
Then and now 'turning rebellion into money'
You charlatans only know deceit
There's still some here with the rebel beat
They say it loses meaning like age again
and it doesn't mean now what it did back then
but now I'm old and have eyes to see
these punk rock songs never meant more to me
I walk down the streets like back in those days
where the teachers all said it was just a phase
And now here I am 12 years gone
Everythings changed and the rebel beat beats on
The Rebel Beat beats on

The Price

Some countries march for king or for their country
and others bleed for a degree
Maybe pull themselves from the status that they knew
a chance out of poverty
I can't stop the feeling that we've been cheated
It doesn't make much sense to me
Shooting, bleeding, killing, in a far off desert
risking it all for a dream
It's the cost
It's the price
It's the cost
Human life
I don't pretend to try and understand
the justifications for this mess
All them filthy suits in power are getting richer by the hour
but I wonder how well they rest
Here's the situation, we're dying for education
a chance to get our foot in the door
Another in the breech, the dream is out of reach
further than it was before
It's the cost
It's the price
It's the cost
Human life
Interest rates and youth unemployment
have played right into their hands
Fill the ranks and set for a deployment
Order march and issue the commands
Nevermind the price
It's the cost
It's the price
It's the cost
Human life

The Way Home

Hey Mom it's getting hot here like you wouldn't believe
Now they got us running 'round when we should be asleep
And just the other day they put some stripes on my sleeve
Said "Boy now here's you're chance to take some charge and lead"
I said "You must be mistaken, you've got the wrong man
I'm just trying to do my part for my fellow man"
but if you're looking for advice I say we're stuck it a jam
I say we pack it up and send em home as fast as we can
On that road
paved in stone
the one I walk
walk alone
Paid in blood
flesh and bone
the road I walk
that leads me the way back home
Mom it's not exactly like I thought it would be
it's a hundred times worse than what they show on TV
Now we're out with no mission doing what we can to survive
They only thing left is to get home alive
And then I catch a little flash out the corner of my eye
then I hit the ground for cover and I'm not sure why
I think it's the first time I've been scared for my life
Mom there's some boys out here that want me to die
On that road
paved in stone
the one I walk
walk alone
Paid in blood
flesh and bone
the road I walk
that leads me the way back home
