Rebel Fire
Verse 1
Windows rolled down on the interstate line
Chasing the horizon to the edge of July
Got a cooler in the back and a flag on the hood
Doing everything they said we never should
The highway is buzzing, the city is bright
Everybody's looking for a speaker tonight
We spent the whole winter just waiting for the sun
And now the celebration has finally begun.
Verse 2
Bridges are burning but the skyline is clear
We survived the pressure of another long year
Gathered by the water at the edge of the docks
Waiting for the clock to hit the paradise o'clock
There’s a wildness running in our spirits today
A debt to the dreamers who paved out the way
So turn up the volume, let the bass line drive
It’s a beautiful night to be fully alive.
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the heat rising up from the street?
A hundred thousand hearts skipping on the same beat
Yeah, the fuse is lit and the timer is set...
Chorus
We are the rebel fire burning in the night!
Chasing down the shadows till the morning is bright!
Born out of freedom, unchained and alive
This is the anthem that helps us survive!
So shout it to the stars, let the echo ring clear—
The Fourth of July is finally here!
Oh-oh-oh, let the rebel fire burn!
Oh-oh-oh, it’s our American turn!
Verse 3
Neon signs and the asphalt steam
Living out our version of the ultimate dream
We write our own stories, we make our own luck
In the back of a rusted-out four-wheel truck.
Chorus
We are the rebel fire burning in the night!
Chasing down the shadows till the morning is bright!
Born out of freedom, unchained and alive
This is the anthem that helps us survive!
So shout it to the stars, let the echo ring clear—
The Fourth of July is finally here!
Oh-oh-oh, let the rebel fire burn!
Oh-oh-oh, it’s our American turn!
Bridge
One, seventeen-seventy-six.
Two, the fire and the bricks.
Three, the land of the free.
Four, open up the front door!
Let it out, scream it high!
Light a match for the sky!
Guitar Solo
Chorus
We are the rebel fire burning in the night!
Chasing down the shadows till the morning is bright!
Born out of freedom, unchained and alive
This is the anthem that helps us survive!
So shout it to the stars, let the echo ring clear—
The Fourth of July is finally here!
Oh-oh-oh, let the rebel fire burn!
Oh-oh-oh, it’s our American turn!
Outro
Let it burn! (Boom!)
Let it burn! (Boom!)
The Fourth of July...
Is finally here!
