Gilberto Gil - Rebel Music [3 O'Clock Road Block] Lyrics

[Repeat: x2]
I rebel music

Why can't we roam this open country?
Oh, why can't we be what we want to be?
We want to be free

3 o'clock roadblock - curfew
And I've got to throw away
Yes, I've got to throw away
A yes, but I've got to throw away
My little herb stalk!

[Repeat: x2]
I rebel music

Take my soul
And suss, suss me out
Check my life
If I am in doubt

3 o'clock roadblock, roadblock, roadblock
And hey, Mr. Cop! Ain't got no
Hey, hey, Mr. Cop
What ya sayin' down there?

Hey, hey, Mr. Cop
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now

[Repeat: x2]
I rebel music

Why can't we roam this open country?
Oh, why can't we be what we want to be?
We want to be free

[Repeat: x2]
I rebel music
