Dropkick Murphys - Rebels with a Cause lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - Rebels with a Cause lyrics]
As a point of conversation
He was referencing relation
From the corner he came from
The company he’d keep
She was from the country, far from the city
They shared one love
They were destined for defeat
He was tortured he was troubled
She was sick and she was lost
Searching for an answer, rebels with a cause
Doing what they do to get what they need
Life was cheap, there were no guarantees
Dead end kids you don't want
‘em you don’t need ‘em
And you’ll always find a reason when
You need to write ‘em off
Dead end kids you can take
‘em you can leave ‘em
You said they’d never listen you
Said they’d be better off
But we believed in you
We knew it from the start
Hey kid! You’ve got heart
They were wretched they were raw
They were tough and they were mean
They were scared they were cold
They were somewhere in between
Looking for a chance from
Someone who believed
Remember what you see ain’t what
Always what it seems
So give a kid hand lift him
Up and dust him off
Many will stumble others will be lost
For all who failed so many would succeed
Don’t be angry at the kids
Be angry at the greed
Dead end kids you don't want ‘em
You don’t need ‘em
And you’ll always find a reason
When you need to write ‘em off
Dead end kids you can take
‘em you can leave ‘em
You said they’d never listen
You said they’d be
Better off But we believed in you
We knew it from the start
Hey kid! You’ve got heart
He was referencing relation
From the corner he came from
The company he’d keep
She was from the country, far from the city
They shared one love
They were destined for defeat
He was tortured he was troubled
She was sick and she was lost
Searching for an answer, rebels with a cause
Doing what they do to get what they need
Life was cheap, there were no guarantees
Dead end kids you don't want
‘em you don’t need ‘em
And you’ll always find a reason when
You need to write ‘em off
Dead end kids you can take
‘em you can leave ‘em
You said they’d never listen you
Said they’d be better off
But we believed in you
We knew it from the start
Hey kid! You’ve got heart
They were wretched they were raw
They were tough and they were mean
They were scared they were cold
They were somewhere in between
Looking for a chance from
Someone who believed
Remember what you see ain’t what
Always what it seems
So give a kid hand lift him
Up and dust him off
Many will stumble others will be lost
For all who failed so many would succeed
Don’t be angry at the kids
Be angry at the greed
Dead end kids you don't want ‘em
You don’t need ‘em
And you’ll always find a reason
When you need to write ‘em off
Dead end kids you can take
‘em you can leave ‘em
You said they’d never listen
You said they’d be
Better off But we believed in you
We knew it from the start
Hey kid! You’ve got heart
