LYRICS When I get to thinking that I really should know better Something stirs down deep inside and I can’t help but remember The days when I was full of youth and still a promising contender And I find myself believing I’m not ready to surrender Somebody once told me the best way to defend, Is to attack So let’s fight back Let’s hold hands Let’s make a stand But better yet, Let’s make damned sure That we will give As good as we get I’m a rebel, idealist, poetic extremist Won’t you be too? I’m a fighter, a dreamer, I’m still a believer I’m sure as hell not through Perhaps I should know better after years of disappointment Of set-backs and rejections, all those nearlys but not quite’s But a life of stoic calm acceptance and of silent acquiescence Is coming to an end here tonight Somebody once told me the best way to defend, Is to attack So let’s fight back So here tonight Let’s stand and fight With no regrets Let’s make dammed sure That we give As good as we get I’m a rebel, idealist, poetic extremist Won’t you be too? I’m a fighter, a dreamer, I’m still a believer I’m sure as hell not through So to those of you who said we couldn’t That it wasn’t meant to be Not for the likes of you and me Well, let me put the record straight cos frankly I’m inclined to disagree I’m a rebel, idealist, poetic extremist Won’t you be too? I’m a fighter, a dreamer, I’m still believer I’m sure as hell not through I’m a rebel, idealist, poetic extremist Won’t you be too? I’m a fighter, a dreamer, I’m still believer I’m sure as hell not through
