about

This song is Iron Fist at their most passionate: it's a tune that acknowledges where we come from, addresses the difficulties of middle-aged life, and springs forward into the future with endless positivity.

lyrics

Fists raised high, the power's within
Middle age mettle ain't a sin…

Party animal back in the day
Wild times and crazy women
Metalhead all along the way
Intoxicated, head just swimmin'
Spent my days living hit-or-miss
Middle finger up at life
Almost dyin' from the craziness
Insanity created strife

But if you lived and you don't know why
Don't let that rebel spirit die

Fists raised high, the power's within
Middle age mettle ain't a sing
Rebel spirit can make a way
Let it loose for a brand new day
Fists raised high, the power's within
Middle age mettle ain't a sin
Rebel spirit can make a way
Let it loose for a brand new day
A rebel spirit for a brand new day!

Workin' hard now, payin' the bills
This daily grind won't take its toll
Fightin' back at the life that kills
9-to-5 won't steal my soul
Never quit knowing how to rock
I got the loud drums and guitar
Livin' large while I watch the clock
No handicaps, I'm a superstar

So now you lived, and you know why
To let your rebel spirit fly

(chorus)

Self-destruction ain't my style
I'll be a rebel with a cause
Stay a mettle-head all the while
Better now than I ever was!

(chorus)
