Letra Rebel Rebel

Rebel Rebel foi escrita por David Bowie e é conhecida por sua linha de guitarra distintiva tocada por Bowie, que formou um riff de rock and roll reconhecível. A música é celebrada como um hino do glam rock e considerada uma das músicas mais cobertas de Bowie. A letra reflete a ambiguidade de gênero e a rebelião contra as normas sociais, elementos comuns no glam rock dos anos 70.

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast

They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so

You've got your mother in a whirl
Cause she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more and you want it fast

They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so
Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know
Hot tramp, I love you so

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know
I said, how could they know
So what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Where'd you wanna go
What can I do for you
Looks like you've been there too
Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Oo, your face is a mess
Oo, oo, so how could they know
Ha, ha, how could they know
Ha, ha
