Ozzy Osbourne - Rock 'N' Roll Rebel Lyrics






[Osbourne]

They couldn't see what I thought would be so obvious
They hide behind the laws they made for all of us
The ministry of truth that deals with pretense
The ministry of peace that sits on defense
I'm washing my hands of what they're trying to do
It's for me, it's for me, it's for you, it's for you

I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
They must be stupid or blind
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

They live a life of fear and insecurity
And all you do is pay for their prosperity
The ministry of fear that won't let you live
The ministry of grace that doesn't forgive
Do what you will to try and make me conform
I'll make you wish that you had never been born

Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll do what I please
Yes I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
And I'm as free as the breeze
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

They'll try playin' win your heart
They know it rules your head
If they could read between the lines
You know they'd see the real day

God only knows why they couldn't see the obvious
Is it because they manifest the incubus
The ministry of war that got caught in the draft
The ministry of joy that still hasn't laughed
When it's all boiled down and the day's at an end
I'll give you no bullshit and I'll never pretend

Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll rebel
I'll tell you no lies
They say I worship the devil
Why don't they open their eyes
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel
A rock 'n' roll rebel
I'm just a rock 'n' roll rebel

    Jake E. Lee and Ozzy

  4. D.... S....

    One of the filthiest riffs on earth 🔥👌🏻🤪

  5. S.... P....

    2020 still listening \m/

  6. L.... B....

    Ironic to see everyone saying how good Jake E. Lee's playing is on this. Pretty sure it's the 2002 remixed version where Zakk Wylde replaces a lot of Lee's playing.

  7. G.... S....

    The only thing was MOTLEY CRUE didn't finish the tour, RATT opened for them in T.O..🤘✌💣💥🍁

  8. G.... S....

    Saw this tour.🤘✌💣💥🍁⤵🎤

  9. A.... S....

    I’m jealous of anyone who got to see the Bark At The Moon Tour between Ozzy and Motley Crue.

  10. W.... W....

    Jake E Lee was the only and one who could defeat and win Jack Butler.

  11. W.... W....

    The slow part after the second chorus (2:50) contains one of best solo of all times...

  12. A.... E....

    Rock-n-roll rabbi!





    I'm here all week!

  13. K.... R....

    The best solo is the second one that starts at 4:37...truly epic!

    K.... R....

    Reminds me Motörhead

  14. H.... L....

    They should totally have all of Ozzy songs for Guitar Hero for everyone to play. Would be killer

  15. �.... ....

    very good~!!

  16. M.... B....

    think it was the first full length album I ever bought. on cassette, bought it after seeing a clip of the song 'shot in the dark'

  21. E.... D....

    This song is fucking bitching!!!

  22. R.... E....

    you no it,,

  23. U.... S....

    Jake E Lee > RR > Zakk

  24. J.... D....

    Awesome piece of rock n' roll

  25. T.... T....

    Hey Ozzy, I was wondering if you and Black Sabbath were able to tap into to the revenue share on me and my guys "Cry All Night" video. They watch it and a few little trickles come in. Just trying to keep up with the people I owe. I can see it, broke now but if later can pay them many times over.

    Rock N Roll Hail Satan Praise The Lord!
    Terry Tyler of Tupelo, MS

  26. J.... S....

  29. T.... ....

    Went and seen black sabbath in 2013 in Sydney with the old man and paid 2k to get a picture and a autograph

  30. J.... C....

    Jake is just as good as Rock guitar gets...

  31. g.... c....

  36. c.... m....

    conformity is a sin from one's

    insecurity, and history is notorious

    to the folly of fools who follow....
    GP

  37. C.... m....

    This song is just as relevant today(7/2019). The lyrics obviously point to Orwell's 1984 novel, "The Ministry of Truth", "The Ministry of Peace" , ..
    amazing

    C.... m....

    I'm always impressed when lyricists make references like that. I came looking for this song today because the news keeps calling it into my head.

  38. c.... ....

    pay jake his money

  39. c.... m....

    cloth an object that gives off no heat/cannot be detected

  40. c.... m....

    lie is what pigments use a shield where no light ever seeks

  41. D.... U....

    Still rocking rebel 2019

  42. j.... ....

    Jake E. Lee Master of the Strat. Enough said

  43. O.... M....

    HAIL SATAN

  54. J.... W....

    Boys, ion case your daddy did'na tell yoa... Put your clean socks on first, then your skivies....;

  55. S.... O....

    When Randy passed...they molded Jake and broke that mold as well...

  56. k.... ....

    Jake E Lee was a bad ass guitarist...

  57. j.... t....

    ozzy got the last laught with them fools

  58. A.... M....

    good album BUT no acoustic guitars because Jake did not have that sophisticated classical acoustic guitar interest that Randy had. That is the difference.

  59. G.... H....

    Refuge from our current music apocalypse...Ozzy for president

  60. J.... B....

    Rock on Ozzy!

  61. S.... O....

    Good lawd....

  62. C.... M....

    Thank GOD for OZZY

  63. M.... O....

    Ozzy rules! End of debate.

  64. T.... H....

    give jake e lee the love , respect , and the credit he deserves . He had giant shoes to fill being the first recording guitarist to fill in after randy rhodes . I dont think most people can relate to that enormous pressure he had to have felt. And at the end of the day he does not get the credit he deserves for basically writing most of the music on bark at the moon and ultimate sin albums. Its not fair and frankley pisses me the fuck off. jake was and is a crazy good guitarist that doesnt get the props he deserves . nuff said

  65. P.... R....

    thus album is crap

    P.... R....

    Save your Breath for Cooling your Porridge and Bugger Off

  66. v.... ....

    Fuckin miss Randy Castillo! What a great Metal Drummer! I know this is not his drumming by the way

  67. J.... C....

    I don't get it, THIS IS the real one, the or in prince of darknes IS NOT. Crist said, I remember like today at morning rhe enterong of Jake E Lee with thus frenetic guitar, the solo and ending.

  68. M.... S....

    Rock n Roll Rebel

  69. G.... K....

    The words fit me perfectly and I love it \~/

  70. F.... B....

  71. J.... v....

  72. J.... S....

  75. E.... S....

    There will never be another era like this in music

  76. T.... K....

  77. J.... D....

  79. S.... V....

    Awesome 👍👍 thanks Ozzy 🤩

  80. J.... J....

    AWESOME SONG ROCK RULES.

  81. B.... D....

    It's so strange. Randy was a west coast guy with a European sound. He was unique
    Jake had such big shoes to fill but did such a great job with the West coast vibe it re revitalized ozzys career
    Without Jake, oz would have fallen on his face
    God bless Jake, and god rest Randy. Both mind blowing in their own way

  82. A.... S....

    This album does not get the proper recognition rock on Jake e lee

  83. N.... R....

    Its even better if you turn it to 1.25 speed

  84. J.... S....

    Are you going to church with us Sunday? Your Sunday sounds like a greenlight for the next 6 fuckovers.Its 7 Sundays to me.

  85. m.... w....

    This song fuckn kicks ass!

  86. u.... w....

    Ozzy,dio,maiden,metallica.big 4 of the 80s in my opinion

    u.... w....

    Plus Judas Priest, 'The big 5' (: but i liked Slayer too, ..

  87. C.... J....

    God bless you ozzy the world loves you

  88. J.... V....

    Put a thumbs up if you're a rock n roll rebel!!🎸

    J.... V....

    @Kitch Master Flex Looks like they switched back the audio, I guess they got too many complaints.

    J.... V....

    👍🤟🤟🎸😊💯

    J.... V....

    I think Ozzy is awesome. But this song is nowhere near the top of my list of great Ozzy songs. But I used to not like this album. I got the CD in about 94. Now I think Bark at the Moon is great. But this one is still not a good one to me. But Ozzy has tons and tons of other great songs. From Sabbath to solo. He was and is the man!!!

    J.... V....

    A true rock n roll rebel would thumbs down your bitch ass

    J.... V....

    👍👍🤘🤘✌️✌️👌👌

  89. c.... ....

    Jake is an awesome guitarist

  90. d.... g....

    Def a looked over album and yes some jakes riffs are missing. Thankfully I still have the original when it fits came out. I've got all of ozzys CDs back to early black sabbath ones. And I believe he's coming out with a new one this year least last I heard. Hopefully zakk will be on it

  91. B.... S....

    I'll do what I please....

  92. d.... d....

    Well not exactly but just...

  93. F.... ....

    Being a rock 'n' roll rebel in 2019! This is the shit, this needs more respect! legends will never die.

  94. C.... T....

    👌👍👏🇧🇷

  95. c.... ....

    write it

  96. c.... C....

    Ozzy knows how to pick great guitarists!🤘😝🤘

  97. R.... M....

    The true definition of a rock and roll Rebel is someone that Rebels against all the bubblegum bullshit that they claim is rock music today all it is is just bubble gum bullshit lot of one hit wonders looking for a quick buck and they have enough Gall to call themselves musicians this music right here is what I grew up on and this music is what I'm still listening to today and this music right here is there a true definition of rock and roll
