‘Why Can’t I be a Rebel’ is grounded in the Old Firm rivalry. They are singing about both the Celtic Football Club and the cause of Irish reunification – in many ways equating the two.
Why Can’t I be a Rebel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born an Irish rebel here in Wexford town
This is a rebel county with the Blackstairs and black town
It was here we fought for freedom and the marks still can be seen
It is here we long for victory for a rebel Celtic team
[Chorus]
And why can't I be a rebel and support my Celtic team?
Why can't I long for victory for the boys in hoops of green?
Why can't I sing a rebel song, and the history of our land?
For I long to see old Ireland free from British hands
[Verse 2]
I was born in Belfast just up the Glen Road
My father he was a Republican and that's the way we were shown
We all support the Celtic, for hoops we live and die
The peelers they harass us as we pass them by
[Chorus]
And why can't I be a rebel and support my Celtic team?
Why can't I long for victory for the boys in hoops of green?
Why can't I sing a rebel song, and the history of our land?
For I long to see old Ireland free from British hands
[Verse 3]
I was born in Hamburg over in Germany
I'm an Irish rebel and a fan of Saint Paddy
My friends all come from Glasgow, they're Celtic to the core
Here in the jolly roger we await the rising once more
[Chorus]
And why can't I be a rebel and support my Celtic team?
Why can't I long for victory for the boys in hoops of green?
Why can't I sing a rebel song, and the history of our land?
For I long to see old Ireland free from British hands
Yes I long to see old Ireland free from British hands
