i find it hard to say rebel

Lauryn Hill

I find it hard to say
that everything is alright
Don t look at me that way,
like everything is alright

Cause my own eyes can see
through all your false pretenses
But what you fail to see
is all the consequences

You think our lives are cheap
and easy to be wasted
As history repeats,
so foul that you can taste it

And while the people sleep,
too comfortable to face it
His life so incomplete,
and nothing can replace it

And while the people sleep,
too comfortable to face it
Your lives so incomplete,
and nothing can replace it.

Fret not thyself, I say,
against these laws of man
Cause like the Bible says,
His blood is on their hands

And what I gotta say
And what I gotta say
is Rebel

While today is still today
Choose well

It can t go down this way,
choose well (5x)

And while the people sleep,
too comfortable to face it
Your lives, so incomplete,
and nothing can replace it

No (14x)

And what I gotta say (8x)
is Rebel
Rebel (9x)
repent,
the day is far too spent
Rebel, rebel
wake up (7x) and rebel
We must destroy in order to rebuild
wake up - you might as well
Are you, are you satisfied?
Are you satified?
Rebel
Oh Rebel

Why don t you rebel?
why don t you rebel?
why don t you rebel?
