Title: “Rattlesnake Rebellion”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse]
Em
I’ve got poison in my veins,
C
Got a rebellion in my brain,
Em
Suffocating under the weight,
C
Of this menacing chain.
G
Rattlesnake, I am,
D
Riding the storm, breaking the norm,
Em
No need to conform, I fight,
C
Against the grain, in the dead of the night.

[Chorus]
G
Rattlesnake Rebellion,
D
No more suppression, it’s an insurrection,
Em
Slithering in the underbelly of society,
C
Rattlesnake Rebellion, it’s my identity.

[Verse]
Em
Bite back, fight back,
C
Don’t sway, don’t crack,
Em
Dance to the rhythm of your own soundtrack,
C
Rattlesnake Rebellion, stay off the beaten track.
G
Spitting venom, raise your voice,
D
No more silence, make your choice,
Em
Shake your tail, make some noise,
C
Rattlesnake Rebellion, it ain’t just a boys’.

[Chorus]
G
Rattlesnake Rebellion,
D
No more suppression, it’s an insurrection,
Em
Slithering in the underbelly of society,
C
Rattlesnake Rebellion, it’s my identity.
