lyrics

Must have been 12 years ago, I was on my way to the punk rock show
On a winding road, no turning back
Drinking beer by the railroad track
They all said that it was absurd but I couldn't hear the first fucking word
All I made out above the roar of the street
Was the roots and rock and 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
Long ignored and pushed aside because
The underground values reality, not monetary status and celebrity
So many of us have come and gone, few remain
The rebel beat beats on

The rebel beat beats on

You punk rock prima donnas can't recall what it's like to have nothing at all
Took subculture and stripped away all that's real
Packaged and produced for mass appeal
Like Strummer said "and you think it's funny"
Then as now "turning rebellion into money"
You charlatans you 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 that I'm older and have eyes to see
These punk rock songs mean more to me
As I walk the same streets like back in those days
When the teachers all said it was just a phase
Here I am, 12 years on
Everything has changed
The rebel beat beats on

The rebel beat beats on
The rebel beat beats on
