and you stay all night
You sing your protest songs
It’s your way to fight
You been here since long
You have been alright
But some things are changing around you
What you see you don’t like
When you were a young man
You didn‘t care so much
It could go weeks and months
You stayed completely out of touch
But now things are different
And you are more concerned
So much has been wasted here
So much been burnt
Black rebel soul, black rebel soul
You’re on your own, you’re own your own
But you rock and you roll, you rock and roll
Black rebel soul, black rebel soul
So what can a man do
When he disagrees?
He can choose exit or voice
He can vote with his feet
He can turn against the others
against common beliefs
he can condemn what’s wrong these days
the brutality
Yet, he sings another song
About liberty
About everything that is wrong
And how it should have been
Black rebel soul, black rebel soul
You’re on your own, you’re own your own
But you rock and you roll, you rock and roll
Black rebel soul, black rebel soul
Black rebel soul, black rebel soul
You’re on your own, you’re own your own
But you rock and you roll, you rock and roll
Black rebel soul, black rebel soul, black rebel soul
