Where is the Rebel Spirit?

Aaron Immanuel Wright (BMI)

Where is the rebel spirit?

Where is the rebel spirit?

From coast to coast

Fascism is on the rise

Yet the rebel musician

is nowhere to be found

Singin' songs for likes

Makin' beats for jobs

You can buy some art but you can't buy the endless will to make it

Cafés used to be the meeting place of the revolution

Now they're as quiet as a library

Rebel music can stop it

There used to be rebel music

Like Stravinsky, and Mingus

Max Roach, Funkadelic

Rebel Music

It was all rebel music

Hope: something rebel music gives to people, groove that helps us laugh at evil

Hope: something rebel music gives to people, groove that helps us laugh at evil

Rebel music can stop it

Rebel music can stop it

From coast to coast

Nowhere to be found
