Tired Of Being Johnny B. Good |
| I don’t like instant ice tea |
| And I ain’t crazy about dollar a gallon self serve gasoline |
| And they nearly broke me with the high price of beef |
| And the funny thing is, they think they’re putting this over on me |
| I’ve always been an upstanding citizen |
| But I am getting fed up now, my friends |
| And if you don’t understand, what I’ve said |
| I’m tired of being Johnny B. Good and I’m gonna be Johnny Reb |
| Yeah I’m gonna be Johnny Reb |
| 'Cause I don’t believe everything I’ve seen and read |
| And I work like hell just to keep a roof and a bed |
| I’m tired of being Johnny B Good and I’m gonna be Johnny Reb |
| This country’s gettin' in a kind of bad shape |
| When the gasoline profits are up, up and away |
| And I can barely live on my take-home pay |
| There’s a whole lot of peoples that agree with what I say |
| Don’t tell me to ride a bus and turn down my thermostat |
| When you’re all running around in jets and Cadillacs |
| I can’t take this lying down, we gotta try and fight back |
| 'Till they believe what we said |
| We’re tired of being Johnny B Goods and we gotta be Johnny Rebs |
| Yeah, we gonna be Johnny Rebs |
| 'Cause we don’t believe everything we’ve seen and read |
| And we work like hell just to keep a roof and a bed |
| We’re tired of being Johnny B Goods and we gotta be Johnny Reb |
| We’re tired of being Johnny B Goods and we gonna be Johnny Reb |
