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 draft

 The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed

 When its all boiled down and the days at the 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
