Lyrics

(Do do do do-do do do!)
(I, rebel music)
(I, rebel music)
Oh why can't we roam (oh-oh-oh-oh) this open country? (open country)
Oh, why can't we be what we wanna be? (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We want to be free. (wanna be free)
Three o'clock roadblock - curfew
And I've got to throw away -
Yes, I've got to throw away -
A yes-a, but I've got to throw away
My little herb stalk!
I (rebel music) - yeah, I'm tellin' you! -
(I) I rebel music (rebel music). Oh-ooh!
Oh, take my soul (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And suss - and suss me out (suss me out). Oh-ooh!
Check my life (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), check my life
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."
(I rebel music) I'm telling you
Oh I, I got to say rebel music (I rebel music)
(Do do do, do do do!)
Oh, I, I'm glad to say, rebel music (rebel music)
Oh, I (I) I'm tellin' you rebel music (rebel music)
