Tired of Being Johnny B. Good

I don't like instant ice tea And I aint crazy about dollar a gallon self service gasoline And they nearly broke me with the high price of beef And the funny thing is they think their 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 kinda 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 people that agree to what I say Don't tell me to ride a bus and turn down my thermostat When yer all runnin' around in jets and cadillacs Well 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 Good 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 Good and we Gotta be Johnny Rebs We're Tired of being Johnny B Good and we Gotta be Johnny Rebs
