Rebel Music (3 o'clock roadblock) Lyrics

[Aston Barrett; Hugh Peart]

            (Do do do do-do do do!
             Do do do do-do do do!
             I rebel music;
             I rebel music.)
            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)

            3 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!

            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),
               if I am in doubt (I'm in doubt); I'm tellin':
            3 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."

            /Instrumental break/
                                    (I rebel music)
                                    (I rebel music)
                                    (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
                                    (open country)
                                    (oh-oh-oh)
            ---
            (Do do do!)
            I (rebel music) - yeah, I'm tellin' you! -
            (I) I rebel music (rebel music).

            Oh-ooh!  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),
               if I am in doubt (I'm in doubt); I'm tellin':
            3 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."
