I'm No Rebel Lyrics

Siren sounds, police surround the front door
Guns at the ready they talk through loudhailers to the people inside
Saying throw out your weapons, come out, let this thing go no further
There are innocente people here, the price too high
(Ooh) than a voice cries from inside
(Ooh) it's a plaintive cry just above a whisper
(Ooh) said that I'm prepared to die
But if I should go, I want the world to know...

I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel
I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel
I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel
I'm just an ordinary man

To break the law you know was never his intention
He said I stand here before you a victim of circumstances
And my only offence was to offer my family protection
I heard a late night intruder, threatening violence to us all
(Ooh) and it came as some surprise
(Ooh) that in my resistance I'd hurt a policeman
(Ooh) that is when I realized
Because of what I had done, I would have to run

I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel
I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel
I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel, I'm no rebel
I'm just an ordinary man

Push to the limit, I have to fight back

The hurt is on
The hurt is on
The hurt is on - me
Spotlight flashes and catches a shadow on a window
A warning is shouted out before the deadly roar
A shot rings out like a bell and cuts through the darkness
And a silhouette is seen as it falls toward the floor

(Ooh) and right there before our eyes
(Ooh) everyone could feel the pain and the passion
(Ooh) and once more from deep inside
A voice is heard, saying: Lord have mercy...

I'm no rebel (I'm no rebel) (I'm no rebel)
I'm no rebel (I'm no rebel) (I'm no rebel)
I'm no rebel (I'm no rebel) (I'm no rebel)
