Rebellion Lyrics - Tony Joe White

Some people talk 

Just to hear their lips rattle 

Got their high positions 

Same old ship but with a different paddler 

Told me that I had to get commercialized 

If I was gonna fit in with the show, no 

Don't want no one telling me I got to 

I move in my own time 

Play this guitar anyway I want to 

I own it and the amplifier 

Everybody is getting tired 

Of pushing buttons on their radio 

Where was it wrote down 

They got to cram it down our throats 

I don't give a damn about the formulas 

Hook lines make me feel like a fish, hook this 

Wear my hair long down to my hip bone 

If that's the way I feel 

Wear my sunshades even in the night time 

Ride my woman in a Coupe de Ville 

I might want to rock 

Play the blues all night long 

I'm in this thing for life 

I didn't come here for just one song 

They can't put the music in a small bag 

It's got to stay as free as I feel 

Don't want no one telling me I got to 

I move in my own time 

Play this guitar any way I want to 

Lightinin' Hopkins is a friend of mine 

Don't want no one telling me I got to 

I move in my own time 

Play this music any way I want to 

I must keep it alive 

Just check it up
