The Rebels
Slowhand & Van Lyrics

Where have all the rebels gone
Why are there no more rebellious people, the ones who go against the norm or authority?

Hiding behind their computer screens
They are not expressing their dissenting opinions or beliefs publicly and are instead relying on technology to make their statements.

Where's the spirit, where is the soul
The passion and emotion that once fueled rebellion seem to have disappeared, leaving only apathy.

Better come out of the woodwork now
It's time for those who have been silent to speak out and take action.

One for the money, and two for the show
People may be more concerned with appearances or making money than with causing change.

It's not very rock-n-roll
The lack of rebellion is disappointing and goes against the ideals typically associated with rock music.

Someone else gotta make a move
There is a sense of complacency among potential rebels, with many believing that it is someone else's responsibility to initiate change.

They're not saying very much at all
There is a noticeable lack of outspoken dissenters or those willing to stand out from the crowd.

Were they really all that tough
Were the rebels of the past truly as tough and committed to their cause as they are remembered, or were they simply putting on an act?

Or was it just a PR stunt
Were their rebellious actions purely for the sake of gaining publicity and attention, rather than reflecting genuine beliefs or ideals?

Why don't they come out of the woodwork now
There is a need for more people to speak out and take action, and it is perplexing why more people aren't doing so.

I can't find anyone at all
The absence of rebellious voices is frustrating and disheartening.
