Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock)

(albüm: Natty Dread - 1974)

(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 telling 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 saying 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 telling 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 saying down there?) (hey) hey! (hey, Mr Cop)
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now."
