 listen  to the fife and snare,
 marching through the square
 Stencil  flags of insurrection,
 dancin'  through the air
 Read  the rants of a Thomas Paine
of  modern day
I  have felt a spirit,
 that has not  yet gone away
 Boycott  me and boycott this
 and mute  your children's mouths
 When  they sing along
 to this very song
 Spread  word all around
 Hey, FOP,  boycott  me
 for  I am standing  up
 I'd rather  taste a rebel's  glory
 than drink  blood from your  cup'
 I'd rather  taste a rebel's  glory
 than drink  blood from your cup
 
 Read  the rants of those in jail
 and those who rode the rails
 Then lay  down on the roads we paved
 eat the crumbs  we used for trails
 And discredit  all the rogues,
 liberty's cracked within  the bells
 The demon's  in your heavens
 and the angels  in your hells
 Boycott  me and boycott this
 and mute  your children's mouths
 When  they sing along
 to this very song
 Spread  word all around
 Hey, FOP,  boycott  me
 for  I am standing  up
 I'd rather  taste a rebel's  glory
 than drink  blood from your  cup'
 I'd rather  taste a rebel's  glory
 than drink  blood from your cup
 The  scorned few of today
 are the heroes of tomorrow
 They'll be  a holiday,
 times of  regret and sorrow
 and when  they're pressed on stamps
 we'll hope  they're not forgotten
 So let's  go down in history,
 blacklisted  and boycotten
 Boycott  me and boycott this
 and mute  your children's mouths
 When  they sing along
 to this very song
 Spread  word all around
 Hey, FOP,  boycott  me
 for  I am standing  up
 I'd rather  taste a rebel's  glory
 than drink  blood from your  cup'
 I'd rather  taste a rebel's  glory
 than drink  blood from your cup

[E]

li[E]sten to the fife and snare,

marching through the square
St[C#m]encil flags of insurrection,
da[B]ncin' through the air
R[E]ead the rants of a Thomas Paine
[A]of modern d[E]ay
[A]I have felt a spi[E]rit,
that has n[B]ot yet gone a[E]way

Boy[E]cott me and boycott this
and m[B]ute your children's mo[E]uths
W[A]hen they sing along
to this very s[E]ong
Sp[A]read word all aro[B]und

Hey, F[A]OP, boy[E]cott me
f[B]or I am standing[C#m] up
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than d[B]rink blood from y[E]our cup'
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than dr[B]ink blood from your cup

          [E]    [A]    [E]    [A]    [E]    [B]    [E]

R[E]ead the rants of those in jail

and those who rode the rails
Then [C#m]lay down on the roads we paved
eat the cr[B]umbs we used for trails
And disc[E]redit all the rogues,
liberty's cracked wi[A]thin the be[E]lls
The dem[A]on's in your hea[E]vens
and the an[B]gels in your he[E]lls

Boy[E]cott me and boycott this
and m[B]ute your children's mo[E]uths
W[A]hen they sing along
to this very so[E]ng
Sp[A]read word all aro[B]und

Hey, F[A]OP, boy[E]cott me
f[B]or I am standing[C#m] up
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than dr[B]ink blood from y[E]our cup'
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than dr[B]ink blood from your cup

[C#m]    [E]
[A]    [E]    [B]    [C#m]    [B]    [E]

T[E]he scorned few of today

are the heroes of tomorrow
They'll [C#m]be a holiday,
times o[B]f regret and sorrow
and wh[E]en they're pressed on stamps
we'll h[A]ope they're not forg[E]otten
So le[A]t's go down in his[E]tory,
blac[B]klisted and boyc[E]otten

Boy[E]cott me and boycott this
and m[B]ute your children's mo[E]uths
W[A]hen they sing along
to this very s[E]ong
Sp[A]read word all ar[B]ound

Hey, F[A]OP, boy[E]cott me
f[B]or I am standing[C#m] up
I'd rat[A]her taste a re[E]bel's glory
than d[B]rink blood from y[E]our cup'
I'd ra[A]ther taste a re[E]bel's glory
than dr[B]ink blood from your cup

      [E]    [A]    [E]    [A]    [E]    [B]    [E]
