Verse 1
I was fightin' for trouble, wild just to be wild
Swore at every preacher, wore my anger like a smile
Didn’t see the damage, just wanted to stand tall
Grew up thinking freedom meant breakin’ every law
Pre-Chorus
But the years rolled on, and I started to see
There’s more than just me, there’s a world on its knees
Chorus
I'm a rebel with a cause now, fire in my jaw
Ain't just running wild, got a reason to brawl
Politics ain't foolin', I'll stand and I'll draw
Hang a banner on the courthouse, rip down every law
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, we won't hide
Hey hey hey, we're alive
Verse 2
Used to fight for nothing, just to see my name
Now I see the lines they drew, it ain't a fair game
Government in their pockets, greed runnin' free
Left the hungry on the corner, while they sip their tea
Pre-Chorus
Can't sit still, can't look away
Somebody got to push back, won't let 'em have their way
Chorus
I'm a rebel with a cause now, fire in my jaw
Ain't just running wild, got a reason to brawl
Politics ain't foolin', I'll stand and I'll draw
Hang a banner on the courthouse, rip down every law
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, we won't hide
Hey hey hey, we're alive
Bridge
Now I see through the curtains, I can't turn away
Empty promises, they crumble, every word they say
Hearts are broke and begging, while the fat keep their throne
I won't sit in silence, won't just throw a stone
Verse 3
Tired of false prophets stealin' every dime
While the working man's left struggling, fallin' out of line
We got voices loud as thunder, we stand side by side
Gonna burn down their castles, watch the mighty slide
Pre-Chorus
Can't bite my tongue, can't duck the fight
Truth is a wildfire, and I'm set to ignite
Chorus
I'm a rebel with a cause now, fire in my jaw
Ain't just running wild, got a reason to brawl
Politics ain't foolin', I'll stand and I'll draw
Hang a banner on the courthouse, rip down every law
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, we won't hide
Hey hey hey, we're alive
