The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats - In Strange Waters

Yesterday's Rebel - 10 Year Version

All the nights pitch black, all the lights are out
I am sittin' in a pub having a stout
The door opens up, my dad steps in
He says, "Son, as you know, I'm not free from sin"

I was yesterday's rebel, whoa
I was yesterday's rebel
Had to ring the death of bell
I was yesterday's rebel, whoa-oh
I was yesterday's rebel, now I find myself in hell

When I was your age, I joined the IRA
With hard times filled with cries of dismay
We fought in the name of 40 shades of green
A boy with a gun, that's what I was

I was yesterday's rebel, whoa
I was yesterday's rebel, had to ring the death of bell
I was yesterday's rebel, whoa-oh
I was yesterday's rebel, now I find myself in hell

I was yesterday's rebel, whoa
I was yesterday's rebel, had to ring the death of bell
I was yesterday's rebel, whoa-oh
I was yesterday's rebel, now I find myself in hell

For the promises of freedom, no more I will fight
Now I want to save you as well
For the promises of freedom, no more I will fight
For the promises of freedom, no more I will fight

I was yesterday's rebel, whoa
I was yesterday's rebel, had to ring the death of bell
I was yesterday's rebel, whoa-oh
I was yesterday's rebel, now I find myself in hell

I was yesterday's rebel, whoa
I was yesterday's rebel, had to ring the death of bell
I was yesterday's rebel, whoa-oh
I was yesterday's rebel, now I find myself in hell
