Van Morrison - Where Have All The Rebels Gone?
YouTube ^ | 5-6-2021 | Van Morrison

Posted on 01/29/2022 7:16:47 AM PST by Sir_Humphrey

Lyrics:

Where have all the rebels gone? Hiding behind computer screens Where’s the spirit, where’s the soul? Where have all the rebels gone?

Why don’t they come out of the woodwork now? One for the money, two for the show It’s not very rock and roll Where have all the rebels gone?

Where have all the rebels gone? Waiting for someone else to make a move Why are they sitting on the fence? Well, it’s some kind of pretence They’re not saying much at all Where have all the rebels gone?

Where they really all that tough? Or was it just a PR stunt? One for the money, two for the show Where have all the rebels gone?

Where have all the rebels gone? One for the money, two for the show It’s not very rock and roll Where have all the rebels gone?

Where they really all that tough? Or was it just a PR stunt? They’re not saying very much, are they? Where have all the rebels gone?

Where have all the rebels gone? Hiding behind computer screens Where’s the spirit, where’s the soul? Where have all the rebels gone?

Need a real live audience to perform Where have all the rebels gone? Where have all the rebels gone? Where have all the rebels gone? Where have all the rebels gone? Where have all the rebels gone?

I can’t find anyone Where have all the rebels gone? I can’t find, no not one

In the 1970s, you could not go wrong on a date if you had a Van Morrison tape in the car cassette player. The girls all loved Van's music.

Not side two of Led Zeppelin IV as the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" tried to point out. Besides, "Kashmir" isn't even on that album. What were the writers of "Fast Times" thinking?

Interesting how “Rebel” has been used in many different contexts and in many different types of music.

Here is one from the labor movement circa 1911: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR7fBCENkN0

The rebels of Yester-Year
Planted songs in their generation
Sang against the establishment
Against tyranny
Against abuse
Until they were only empty words
Uttered behind their castle walls.
