Lyrics

(By bob marley)

(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."
