lyrics

Pink rebel with a sword held high
Pink rebel off a’ 65
Pissed off and looking saddle sore
Someone should tell him
That he lost the war
Pink rebel
Done fought that war

The General, he’s been vandalized
Been shot up a dozen times
Pistol raised and his teeth bit tight
Charging over the lanes
The terror of the interstate
He was silver in his day
Towered like a genie from the carpet store
They hit him with a coat of paint

Pink rebel with a sword held high
Pink rebel off a’ 65
Pissed off and looking saddle sore
Someone should tell him that he lost the war
Pink rebel
Done lost that war

The General is no friend of mine
Drove past him too many times
They ought to plant a couple bushes by the highway
So we’ll never have to look at him

Some people love their battle hymns
They sing of bravery
They swell with pride
But there ain’t no good
Word for slavery

Pink rebel with a sword held high
Pink rebel off a’ 65
Pissed off and looking saddle sore
Someone should tell him
That he lost the war
Pink rebel
Done lost that war
Pink rebel
Done lost that war

Pink rebel with a sword held high
Pink rebel off a’ 65
Pissed off and looking saddle sore
Someone should tell him
That he lost the war
Pink rebel
Done lost that war
Pink rebel
Done lost that war
Pink rebel
Done lost that war
Done fought that war
