Rebel Music (3 O’Clock Roadblock) – Bob Marley & The Wailers
By
(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.”
