Gilberto Gil - Rebel Music (3 O’Clock Road Block) lyrics

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 oclock roadblock - curfew
And Ive got to throw away
Yes, Ive got to throw away
A yes, but Ive got to throw away
My little herb stalk!

I rebel music

Take my soul and suss, suss me out
Check my life if I am in doubt
3 oclock 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

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

I rebel music
