From his army
confessions of his military days
You still carry
the shrapnel you're shell-shocked and dazed
Dear Johnny have
you lost your way
Or like denim
and leather are you faded and frayed
Institute lackies
with hot bourbon breath
White coats and
needles Johnny like to scare you to death
Dear Johnny do
you feel your best
When you're strung
out at night on your morphine and meth
Jackknife Johnny
you're a floor moppin' flunkie
Tool of a dagger's
drawn world
Jackknife Johnny
them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing
home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny
welcome to our world
From the tone
deaf hearing of the draft board game
You were washing
cars down in Dallas when the holocaust came
Dear Johnny your
excuse was lame
All your friends
sleep in boxes while you sleep in chains
Jackknife Johnny
you're a bad jungle monkey
Tool of a dagger's
drawn world
Jackknife Johnny
them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing
home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny
welcome to our world
Jackknife Johnny
you're a floor moppin' flunkie
Tool of a dagger's
drawn world
Jackknife Johnny
them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing
home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny
welcome to our world
Jackknife Johnny
you're a bad jungle monkey
Tool of a dagger's
drawn world
Jackknife Johnny
them old vets gotta hate you
For bringing
home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny
