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.
