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 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 treading on the wine press much too long
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been treading on the wine press 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, yeah!
Building church and university, whoa-ooh, yeah!
Deceiving the people continually, yeah!
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers
Look out now they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers)
Yeah! (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 treading on ya wine press much too long
Rebel, rebel!
And we've been taken for granted much too long
Rebel, rebel now!

(Treading on the wine press) treading on the wine press (rebel)
Got to rebel, y'all (rebel)!
We've been treading on the wine press much too long, yeah! (rebel)
Yea-e-ah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah!
From the very day we left the shores (treading on the wine press)
Of our Father's land (rebel)
We've been trampled on (rebel)
Oh, now! (We've been oppressed, yeah!) Lord, Lord, go to
