Soul Rebel

UB 40 · Labour Of Love III [1998]

I'm a rebel, soul rebel

I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

See the morning sun, on the hillside

Not living good, yeah

You better travel wide

You better travel wide

Said I'm a living man

I've got work to do

If you're not happy, children

Then you must be blue

I said, you must be blue

I'm a rebel, soul rebel

I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning time

Soul rebel

I'm a capturer

Soul adventurer

See the morning sun, on the hillside

Not living good, yeah

You better travel wide

You better travel wide

Said I'm a living man

I've got work to do

If you're not happy, children

Then you must be blue

I said, you must be blue

I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning time

Soul rebel

I'm a capturer

Soul adventurer

I'm a rebel, soul rebel

I'm a capturer, soul adventurer
