lyrics

JOHNNY SHITFUCK

his name is johnny shitfuck
and he rolls from town to town
selling blues to anyone who can use
a grimace or a frown
he may pass you by, he me get you high
the warning bells are ringing out
and when the new day dawn, he's moved along
he doesn't care what it's all about

and when he's burned down everything
the children of the town all sing
hey johnny shitfuck, it's time to die

his name is johnny shitfuck
and his eyes are on the prize
under his thumb the local scum
remains forever mesmerized
he will talk his jive in overdrive
until everyone agrees
that these magic seeds are what they need
"can we have another, please?"

and when he's taken everything
all the ones beyond the fire sing
hey johnny shitfuck, it's time to die

his name is johnny shitfuck
and he wants your love and trust
to kneel before his iron door
before it all goes bust
he'll sing his song and then move along
once every last crumb is his
and he will leave you all there thinking
that it's perfect as it is

it's time to take back everything
and dance around the flames and sing
hey johnny shitfuck, it's time to die
