I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer
See the morning sun,
On the hillside
not living good, travel wide
Said I'm a living man
I've got work to do
If you're not happy, children
Then you must be blue
Must be blue, people say
I'm a rebel, let them talk,
Soul rebel, talk won't bother me
I'm a capturer, that's what they say
Soul adventurer, night and day
I'm a rebel, soul rebel
Do you hear them lippy
I'm a capturer, gossip around the corner
Soul adventurer. How they adventure on me
But, see the morning sun,
On the hillside
not living good, travel wide
Said I'm a living man
I've got work to do
If you're not happy, then you must be blue
I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer
Do you hear me
I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning
Soul rebel, rebel at midday time

The sun shall not smite I by day
Nor the moon by night.
And everything that I do
Shall be upful and right.

And if it's all night
It got to be (all right!)
Talking to you (all night!)

Mamma don't lose this one
I'm the lucky one under the sun.
If you make me move
Then you know we got the groove.

If it's (all right!)

Do you like it?
Water cold.

Tear-a-drop.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
And don't you cry.
Wiping my lonely tears baby.
I tell you what.

If it's all night
Got to be (all right!)
If it's all night
Got to be (all right!)

I can't find no love
No sympathy
What kind of love
They've got for me
I'm on my way
To happiness
Where I can find
Some peace and rest.

When I'm in my trouble here,
Only me feels the pain.
Not one simple word,
Good word of advice,
From any of my so called friends.

I can't find no love
No sympathy
What kind of love
They've got for me
I'm on my way
To happiness
Where I can find
Some peace and rest.

Might as well, might as well
I get out, I get out of hell
Hell would never be made for me
So I'm gonna search, search till I'm free

I can't find no love
No sympathy
What kind of love
They've got for me
I'm on my way
To happiness
Where I can find
Some peace and rest.

The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.
Sing it, brother!
The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.

You're a builder - here I am a stone.
Don't you think and refuse me
'Cause the things people refuse,
Are the things they should use.
Do you hear me? Hear what I say!

The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.
Tell me what!
The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.

Here I am, baby.
I'm a builder's stone.
Don't you pick and refuse me, listen!
The things people refuse,
Are the things they should use.
Do you 'ear me? Hear what I say!

The stone that the builder refused,
Will always be the head cornerstone.

Will always be the head cornerstone.

I can be soft as a pillow.
Weep like a willow.
Caress and bring happiness.
Don't refuse me, don't you refuse.
Don't, don't, don't you refuse.

Fools don't see
(fools don't see, fools don't see. Wo-o-o-o)
All those who make them strong.

where we can live, live our lives and be free
400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
And it's the same -
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy

and black people still cannot see
come with me you're black and you're proud
you've got to be free
stop sitting down on your pride just get high
oh 400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
And it's the same -
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy

why do black people close their eyes
come to reality
