Aunque en su mayoría las letras de Johnny Rebel son cansinos cantos en favor de la segregación racial, también hay alguna joya anti-estatista:
Federal aid, federal aid,
We hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid,
Cause the money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
I read in the papers
In real big print
About a sugar coated speech
Made by our President.
With federal aid
He thinks he'll win our trust
But, federal aid, hell,
The money belongs to us.
He puts taxes on this,
Taxes on that.
Just any kind of tax
To keep the government fat.
He says he's gonna give us
Federal aid or bust.
But, federal aid, hell,
The money belongs to us.
Federal aid, federal aid,
We hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid,
Cause the money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
He started a new program
The anti-poverty school
I think it's a good idea,
Nobody wants to be a fool.
Now he says he's running short of funds
And that ain't no joke.
But it ain't the government that hurtin',
It's us that's going broke.
Now, if we could just keep
Most of the money we make
There wouldn't be much reason
To have federal aid.
I believe in helping the poor,
I think it's a must.
But it's not federal aid, hell,
The money belongs to us.
Federal aid, federal aid,
We hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid,
Cause the money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
Now, why should the President
Take all the credit,
When the money we donate
Is what makes up his debit.
Each time a disaster
Strikes our great land,
Federal aid take the credit
For lending a hand.
Now, I'd like to think
That my dollar helped out.
And so would everyone else
Without any doubt.
Cause it's really our money
We placed in their trust.
So federal aid, hell,
The money belongs to us.
Federal aid, federal aid,
We hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid,
Cause the money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
We hear it all the time.
But it's not really federal aid,
Cause the money's yours and mine.
The money's yours and mine.
