They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious

They hide behind the laws they make for all of us

The ministry of truth that deals with pretense

The ministry of peace that sits on defense

I'm washin' my hands of what they're tryin' to do

It's for me, it's for me

It's for you, it's for you 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 their life of fear and insecurity

And all you do is pay 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 '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 to win your heart

They know it rules your head

If they could read between the lines

You know they'll see the real man 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 boiled down and the day's at an end

I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend '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
