[Verse]
John Brown set the tone in America today
Abolitionist understand freedom to the despondent man
Grant said you're either one: a patriot or a traitor's son
It's a sanguinary conclusion
A sanguinary conclusion
A sanguinary conclusion, yeah!

[Chorus]
John Brown, John Brown
John Brown, John Brown
John Brown, John Brown
John Brown, John Brown
John Brown, John Brown
Yeah!
