Tired Of Being Johnny B. Good

歌詞

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
