Rock 'N' Roll Rebel Lyrics
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 WORKSHIP 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 BOILD 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 WORKSHIP THE DEVIL
WHY DON'T THEY OPEN THEIR EYES...I'M JUST ETC.
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'LL TELL YOU NO LIES
THEY THINK I WORKSHIP THE DEVIL
THEY ONLY SEE THROUGH HIS EYES
I'M JUST A ROCK 'N' ROLL REBEL.
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

the ozzman telling it like it is
real rock 'n' roll rebel spirit on this one. Live your life everyone don't listen to stupid society stereotipes! Hail Ozzy !
"THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH AT DEALS WITH PRETENSE THE MINISTRY OF PEACE THAT SITS ON DEFENSE " Ozzy is alluding to the book 1984 by George Orwell.
his a rock 'n' roll rebel duh fred
My favorite ozzy song of all time.
It means don't listen to what society says. They don't know what they are talking about.
It's the answer back of the Ozzzzzzzman to society... back when this song was released he was accused to be Satan incarnated.
Every lyric on this album was written by Bob Daisley.
this is an awesome song, and pretty simple to understand, so i won't bother to actually explain it. however, i would like to point out that these lyrics are wrong in several places. the actual lyrics are:
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 washing my hands of what they're trying 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 a 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 playin' with your hearts They know it rules your head If they could read between the lines You know they'd see the real face
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
@achoryzentwo I think it's If they could read between the lines You know they'd see the real me.
@achoryzentwo I think it's If they could read between the lines You know they'd see the real me.
ok, so i kinda lied. i am going to point out one thing about the meaning of the song itself: the lines in each verse about the ministry of (whatever) that (does whatever) are references to george orwell's book 1984, which has been pointed out already by egger3rd, but i felt the need to confirm it.
