They couldn't see what I thought

Would be so obvious

They hid behind the laws they made for all of us

The ministry of truth that deals with pretense

The ministry of peace that sits on defense

I'm washing my hands of what

They're trying to do

It's for me, it's for me,

It's for you, it's for you



Chorus:

I'm just a rock 'n roll rebel

I'll tell you no lies

They say I worship the devil

They must be stupid or blind

I'm just a rock 'n roll rebel



They live a life of fear and insecurity

And all you do is pray for their prosperity

The ministry of fear that won't let you live

The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive

Do what you will to try and

Make me conform

I'll make you wish that

You had never been born



Chorus:

Cause I'm a rock 'n roll rebel

I'll do what I please

Yes I'm a rock 'n roll rebel

And I'm as free as the breeze

I'm just a rock 'n roll rebel



They'll try playin' with your heart

They know it rules your head

If they could read between the lines

You know they'd see the real day



God only knows why they

Couldn't see the obvious

Is it because they manifest the incubus

The ministry of war that got caught in the draft

The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed

When it's all boiled down

And the day's at an end

I'll give you no bullshit

And I'll never pretend



Chorus:

Cause I'm a rock 'n roll rebel

I'll tell you no lies

They say I worship the devil

Why don't they open their eyes

I'm just a rock 'n roll rebel

A rock 'n roll rebel

I'm just a rock 'n roll rebel
