Soul Rebel Lyrics

I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

See the morning sun on the hillside
Not living good, travel wide.
Said I'm a living man; I got work to do
If you're not happy children, then you must be blue

People say:
I'm a rebel, soul rebel = talk don't bother me
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

Said I'm a living man; I got work to do
If you're not happy children, then you must be blue
Said if you're not happy childrenm, then you must be blue
(If you're not happy you must be blue)

People say:
I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

People say:
I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer
I'm a rebel, soul rebel = talk don't bother me
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The Bob Marley version of this song is markedly different from the Go4 version.
