[Verse 1]

I never owned a single thing

And I couldn't pay the bills

I'm on the straight and narrow now

But sometimes I miss the thrills

Of owin' people money

And causin' others harm

I wanna be dangerous

A reason for alarm

[Chorus]

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna break some bones

Maybe they'll be yours

They might be my own

I wanna be a rebel

I can't get enough

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna smash shit up

[Verse 2]

I'm tryin' to live the good life now

'Cause I used to mess things up

Yeah, life's a little better now

No more pissin' in a cup

Everything's so pleasant

But sometimes I still miss the mess

My life's a little better now

But this I must confess

[Chorus]

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna break some bones

Maybe they'll be yours

They might be my own

I wanna be a rebel

I can't get enough

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna smash shit up

[Bridge]

Everything's so pleasant now

But sometimes I miss the mess

I'm on the straight and narrow now

But this I must confess

[Outro]

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna break some bones

Maybe they'll be yours

They might be my own

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna break some bones

Maybe they'll be yours

They might be my own

I wanna be a rebel

I can't get enough

I wanna be a rebel

I wanna smash shit up

I wanna smash shit up

I wanna smash shit up
