REBEL WITH A CAUSE Johnny Rebel held his flag up high, 'cos he didn't wanna see it burn The immigrants tried to wipe him out, but his pride they couldn't turn For his land he would fight to the d**h, like a warrior of the old days To see the immigrants overrun his land made ol' Johnny rage (chorus) Rebel with a cause, you held your flag up high Rebel with a cause, couldn't see your country die Rebel with a cause, your country's changing fast Rebel with a cause, your pride will forever last He had the power to take back his land Though he could not do it alone 'Cos the White man you must wake up Wherever your flags are flown (chorus) Johnny Rebel held his flag up high, 'cos he didn't wanna see it burn The immigrants tried to wipe him out, but his pride they couldn't turn For his land he would fight to the d**h, like a warrior of the old days To see the immigrants overrun his land made ol' Johnny rage (chorus)
