Lonesome Rebel Lyrics

There's a man with a telescope He's in the trade of 'Peace & Dope' He's pointing at a house up in the hills It's brand new times for the mission bell The word is out - he found the well Bottle up - bottle up to sell The night is strangely bright This cavalcade of convenient lies Count them under starry skies There's no way you can hide it Waltz like a traitor - Mind he's a handsome devil Once he was the greatest But now he is doomed forever There's a man on the telephone He's in the crowd, but still alone Seen it all - and he made his call to me He said 'the world is in distress' 'The politics - it's all a mess' Before we know he'll put it all to rest The night is strangely bright This cavalcade of convenient lies Count them under starry skies There's no way you can hide it Call for a favor - back to the curse of labor Call for a traitor - rise to the highest level Cry for a savior - and God he just sent a rebel He once was the greatest Now he's a lonesome rebel
