I refuse to be in the shadows of the gatekeepers
Bearing down their eyes on me, yeah
Want me to do as you say but not as you do
How's that supposed to work for me yeah
I am not comfortable, cos it's not equitable
Cos that doesn't meet my needs
While you call yourself the right honorable
I refuse to crawl on my knees,
I and I rebel
No, I shall not be moved
Salvation will overcome
Your propaganda machine soon run out of steam
Say what you're gonna do when the right time come
I am not comfortable, cos it's not equitable
For that doesn't meet my needs
While you call yourself the right honorable
My neck is under your knees
I and I rebel
I and I rebel 'gainst your status quo
I and I rebel 'gainst your status quo
I and I rebel
I and I rebel 'gainst your status quo
I and I rebel, I and I rebel
I refuse to be a footstool, I shall not be moved
Salvation will overcome yeah
propaganda machine soon run out of steam
what you're gonna do when the right time come
I am not comfortable, cos it's not equitable
For that doesn't meet my needs
While you call yourself the right honorable
I refuse to crawl on my knees
I and I rebel
I and I rebel 'gainst your status quo
I and I rebel 'gainst your status quo
I and I rebel
I and I rebel 'gainst your status quo
I and I rebel, I and I rebel
I and I rebel
I and I rebel
I and I rebel
