Lyrics

REBELS

I think I oughta tell ya cause I think you oughta know
I think I oughta tell ya but you gotta keep it low
My brother Billy's an outlaw and my sister's doin' life in the pen
And my mom and dad are runnin' from the cops who are chansin' them
So if you're thinkin' 'bout fallin' in love with me
You know Bonnie and Clyde may be the life that we lead

I can't tell you what I'll be, if I'll be strayin' from the law
You see it's in my family genes
We're rebels one and all
Rebels one and all

I had an uncle named Jake who tried to go straight for a while
One day he went to the bank to get a loan and they pulled his file
They said "No way boy just look at your family tree"
He thought at least I tried pulled a gun then he said "Give it to me"

I can't tell you what I'll be, if I'll be strayin' from the law
You see it's in my family genes we're rebels one and all
Rebels one and all

I may be a bad guy, steal all the money you got
I may be a counterfeiter, making money that's hot
I may be a criminal and steal an old lady's purse
I may be a bank robber, or a cat burglar, or even something worse

Like a lawyer, who's preyin' on the poor
Or like a banker man who's always lookin' for more
I may be a Congressman say my back's to the wall
I may be the President but oh how low can I fall

We're rebels one and all Rebels one and all
Rebels one and all Rebels one and all
