lyrics

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
