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 at deals with pretense
The ministry of peace that sits on defense
I'm washing my hands of what they're tryin' to do
I'm breaking the rules and its for me and for you.

I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They think I worship the devil
They only see through his eyes
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel.

They live their lives in 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 as I please
I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'm a free as the breeze
I'm a just rock 'n' roll rebel

They'll try playin' with your heart
They know it rules your head
They only feel what bigotry feels
They won't fool me again (Oh no) (solo)

God only knows why they couldn't see that obvious
Is it because they manifest the incubus
The ministry of war that got caught in the draught
The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed
When its 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 etc.
