Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do do do do-do do do

Do do do do-do do do

I rebel music

I rebel music

[Verse 2]

Why can't we roam (Ohh)

This open country? (Open country)

Oh, why can't we be what we wanna be? (Ohh)

We want to be free (Wanna be free)

[Verse 3]

Three o'clock

Roadblock

Curfew

And I've got to throw away

Yes, I've got to throw away

A yes-a, I, I've got to throw away my little herb stalk

(Do do do do-do do do)

[Verse 4]

I rebel music, yeah I'm tellin' you

(I) I rebel music (Rebel music) ohh

[Verse 5]

Take my soul

And suss and suss me out (Suss me out) ohh

Check my life

If I am in doubt (I'm in doubt) I'm tellin'

Three o'clock

Roadblock, roadblock, roadblock

[Verse 6]

And hey Mr. cop, ain't got no

(Hey) Hey (Hey Mr. cop)

[Verse 7]

What ya sayin' down there? (Hey)

Hey (Hey Mr. cop)

Ain't got no birth certificate on me now

[Verse 8]

(I rebel music)

(I rebel music)

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

(Open country)

(Oh oh oh)

[Verse 9]

(Do do do do)

I rebel music

Hey I'm tellin' you

(I) I rebel music (Rebel music)

Oh

[Verse 10]

Take my soul

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

And suss and suss me out (Suss me out) ohh

Check my life

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

If I am in doubt (I'm in doubt) I'm tellin'

Three o'clock

Roadblock, roadblock, roadblock

And hey Mr. cop, ain't got no

(Hey) Hey (Hey Mr. cop)

What ya sayin' down there? (Hey)

Hey (Hey Mr. cop)

Ain't got no birth certificate on me now
