Been down and out, with my face all up in the mud

And I kept on going

Looked up and down, not knowing where to go anymore

So I kept on rollin'

Yup, don't you turn around

Boy you won't know where to go

Hey, I was born a rebel

Hey, I'm down on the level

Hey, I'm cool with the devil, yeah

Hey, I was born a rebel

Hey, I'm down on the level

Hey, I'm cool with the devil, yeah

Up on my feet, so you know the beat that I can keep on steppin'

No defeat, my pride is always right

I carried on, like a band of gypsies keep on travelin'

Open country, with an open road

Don't you turn around

Boy you won't know where to go

Hey, I was born a rebel

Hey, I'm down on the level

Hey, I'm cool with the devil, yeah

Hey, I was born a rebel

Hey, I'm down on the level

Hey, I'm cool with the devil, yeah

I was born a rebel... I was born a rebel... I was born a rebel

Hey, I was born a rebel

Hey, I'm down on the level

Hey, I'm cool with the devil, yeah

Hey, I was born a rebel

Hey, I'm down on the level

Hey, I'm cool with the devil, yeah
