"Rebel Town" lyrics

U.D.O. & Das Musikkorps Der Bundeswehr Lyrics

"Rebel Town"

I was born electric
Molten metal face
Hearts and pride are marching on
In the fight of an evil race
Lightning bolts and thunder
Grab the speed of light
Robocops are pounding down
As the day turns into night

Rising high
Cold as steel
Eye to eye
Fights are real

Once they're all infected
By a single spark
Ev'rybody's waiting now
To be led out of the dark
Roaring crowds are gath'ring
Crying to be free
Breaking down the system rules
And rebellion is the key

Rising high
Cold as steel
Eye to eye
Fights are real

Revolution is arising
In a rebel town
Ev'rybody's sacrificing
We want it all
We are marching till the end
In this rebel town

Chase away the leaders
Let them rot in hell
Believe in what you're fighting for
Let them hear the rebel yell

Rising high
Cold as steel
Eye to eye
Fights are real

Revolution is arising
In a rebel town
Ev'rybody's sacrificing
We want it all
We are marching till the end
In this rebel town

Rising high
Cold as steel
Eye to eye
Fights are real

Revolution is arising
In a rebel town
Ev'rybody's sacrificing
We want it all
We are marching till the end

Revolution is arising
In a rebel town
Ev'rybody's sacrificing
We want it all
We are marching till the end
In this rebel town


This song is a hymn for the 30th anniversary of reunited Germany. U.D.O. explained, "'Rebel Town' is a song about the demonstrations against the Berlin Wall in the 1980s, and also for people wanting to be more free. A lot of the stuff that was going on in East Germany, nobody was really happy anymore. So, the song is about, how in the end, Germany was united again as a democracy. But it also talks about how it's possible to have a peaceful revolution if you want, and how it can still make change."
