I crawled out of the sea against all odds of survival
I came down from the trees, all hail the lord of the land
I told beggars and kings what they say in the bible
Wouldn't bend my knee to the pope and repent

I won't sit and wait 'til things get better
May the liberated say: He's such a rebel

Let the nation fall at my command
Time will punish all, all those who delay
Let the freedom sprawl out of my hands
Let me tear down the wall and open the gate

I won't sit and wait 'til things get better
May the liberated say: He's such a rebel

I'm a freewheelin' mind, I'm a son of a bitch
I won't bend down to the bold and the rich
I'm the sting in the system, a bastard and beast
I'm the leader of legions, a prophet and priest
Oh come on, what the hell: Who do I try to fool
All those lies won't last long and you all know the truth
I'm all talk and no trousers, I don't know the score
When I wake up tomorrow, I won't start a war

It's a little easier to yell
Fuck you, I won't do what to tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what to tell me!
I admit, I will sit and wait. I'm such a rebel
