Rock 'N' Roll Rebel

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 washing my hands of what they're tryin' to do It's a me, it's a me, it's a you, it's a 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 lives 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 But 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 I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel I'm as free as the breeze I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel They'll try playin with your heart The know it rules you head If they could read between the lines You know they'd see the real pain God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious Is it because that the manifest the incubus The ministry of war that got caught in the draught The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed When it's all boiled down and the days 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
