The Hives - Born A Rebel Lyrics

The Hives Lyrics

"Born A Rebel"

Moses on the mountain
Sure he must have said something
I wasn't listening
I didn't hear a thing
Intelligent design
That's for unintelligent minds
I do it all the time
And I ain't even trying

They've got rules for their rules
And if you use their tools
Gives them the upper hand 'til I stop doing what's right
They've got tools for the fools
We ain't using them anymore
New times, I don't believe in anything
I don't care what the future brings at all
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel, son

I've got a few enhancements
To the ten commandments
And the golden rule
I leave it to the fools
Neither straight nor sober
I ain't halal or kosher
And exclusively
I only listen to me

They've got rules for their rules
And if you use their tools
Gives them the upper hand 'til I stop doing what's right
They've got tools for the fools
I ain't using them anymore
New times, I don't believe in anything
I don't care what the future brings at all
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel
I'm born a rebel, son
