Song Lyrics
We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That`s the way (way) it`s going to be. If you don`t know!
You can`t educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin` `bout my freedom) Talkin` `bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we`ve been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we`ve been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)
Suckin` the children day by day, yeah!
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin` the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah!
Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! -
Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea!
Me say them graduatin` thieves and murderers;
Look out now: they suckin` the blood of the sufferers (sufferers).
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth right now!
Come on and tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Come on and tell the children the truth.
`Cause - `cause we`ve been trodding on ya winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
And we`ve been taken for granted much too long:
Rebel, rebel now!
(Trodding on the winepress) Trodding on the winepress (rebel):
got to rebel, y`all (rebel)!
We`ve been trodding on the winepress much too long - ye-e-ah! (rebel)
Yea-e-ah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah!
From the very day we left the shores (trodding on the winepress)
Of our Father`s land (rebel),
We`ve been trampled on (rebel),
Oh now! (we`ve been oppressed, yeah!) Lord, Lord, go to ...
[*Sleeve notes continue:
Now we know everything we got to rebel
Somebody got to pay for the work
We`ve done, rebel.]
