Loosely translated out of Limburgish by Lodie…
The rebel in me
Verse: 01
If the road stops, that doesn’t stop me.
As a child I was like that and in my old days I am still rebellious.
I kick against sacred cows and ingrained taboos.
I break down closed doors and I slam several open doors.
Verse: 02
I have a cheeky mouth and a keen tongue.
No, you can’t shut me up.
I am silent to no one when I see injustice,
or if I don’t like something.
Most people are embarrassed or afraid to say anything,
even to family or friends…but I don’t give a damn.
Bridge: 01
You won’t get me on my knees.
No, you can’t scare me anymore.
I have done and seen enough in my life.
They always take Average Joe to the cleaners,
tricked by the elite all the time.
Chorus: 01
I think more often of those people who stand up during their lives.
Against all injustice, against all suffering,
Who have given everything out of humanity and respect for life.
Verse: 03
For many I am the bogeyman because the truth, yes the truth hurts.
But to many I am a good friend in hard times,
and a little bit of sunshine in their life.
I say without much ado what the problem is,
and if they don’t want to hear it,
too bad, then I feel sorry for them.
Verse: 04
Like it or not…. no, you don’t have to believe my words.
I never talk trash or nonsense there are already enough scumbags who lie.
I don’t want to convince anyone…. because the facts yes, the facts speak for themselves.
…Well, even the facts are also rebellious.
Bridge: 02
You won’t get me on my knees.
No, you can’t scare me anymore.
I have done and seen enough in my life.
They always take Average Joe to the cleaners,
tricked by the elite all the time.
Chorus: 02
I think more often of those people who stand up during their lives.
Against all injustice, against all suffering,
Who have given everything out of humanity and respect for life.
