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 that deals with pretense   The ministry of peace that sits on defense   I'm washin' my hands of what they're tryin' to do   It's for me, it's for me   It's for you, it's for you      I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel   I'll tell you no lies   They say I worship the devil   They must be stupid or blind   I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel      They live their life of 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   I'll make you wish that you had never been born      'Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel   I'll do what I please   Yes I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel   And I'm as free as the breeze   I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel      They'll try to win your heart   They know it rules your head   If they could read between the lines   You know they'll see the real man      God only knows why they couldn't see the 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 it's boiled down and the day's 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 a rock 'n' roll rebel   A rock 'n' roll rebel   I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
