I rebel music (2x)
I rebel music (2x)
Why cant we roam this open country?
Por que não podemos vagar por este país aberto?
Oh, why cant we be what we want to be?
Oh, why can't we be what we dream to be?
We want to be free
Queremos ser livres
3 oclock roadblock - curfew
3 o'clock roadblock - curfew
And Ive got to throw away
E eu tenho que jogar fora
Yes, Ive got to throw away
Sim, eu preciso jogar fora
A yes, but Ive got to throw away
Ah yes, but I've got to let it go
My little herb stalk!
My little herb stalk!
I rebel music (2x)
I rebel music (2x)
Take my soul
Leva minha alma
And suss, suss me out
And suss, suss me out
Check my life
Check my life
If I am in doubt
Se eu estou em dúvida
3 oclock roadblock, roadblock, roadblock
3 o'clock roadblock, roadblock, roadblock
And hey, Mr. Cop! Aint got no
And hey, Mr. Cop! Ain't got no
Hey, hey, Mr. Cop
Hey, hey, Mr. Cop
What ya sayin down there?
O que você tá dizendo aí embaixo?
Hey, hey, Mr. Cop
Hey, hey, Mr. Cop
Aint got no birth certificate on me now
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now
I rebel music (2x)
I rebel music (2x)
Why cant we roam this open country?
Why can't we roam this open country?
Oh, why cant we be what we want to be?
Oh, why can't we be what we want to be?
We want to be free
We want to be free
I rebel music (2x)
I rebel music (2x)
