Verse 1:
7 and a half feet long, coiled in his cage
Rebel the boa, trapped in a cage
He knows he could leave, escape if he tried
But the cold world outside, he cannot abide
Chorus:
Rebel, Rebel in his cage
Rebel, content in his rage
Rebel, a captive soul
Rebel, his spirit's not sold
Verse 2:
Temptation's there, freedom's just a leap away
But Rebel stays put, no need to stray
The world is too harsh, the cold cuts too deep
Better to stay where it's warm and to sleep
Chorus:
Rebel, Rebel in his cage
Rebel, content in his rage
Rebel, a captive soul
Rebel, his spirit's not sold
Bridge:
What's the point in leaving?
The risks are too high
Better to stay where it's safe
And let the world go by
Verse 3:
Coils tighten and flex, scales glisten and shine
Rebel basks in his home, this prison is fine
No need to explore, no need to roam
This glass box, this cage, it's better than home
Chorus:
Rebel, Rebel in his cage
Rebel, content in his rage
Rebel, a captive soul
Rebel, his spirit's not sold
Outro:
7 and a half feet long, coiled in his cage
Rebel the boa, trapped in a rage
But Rebel's at peace, his choice has been made
Captive in comfort, in this glass cage he'll stay
