Verse [Palm Muted]
Johnny has a problem
Johnny is out of control
He had a TV party
With the kids in the black hole
Stealing people's mail
And lynching the landlord
Things to do when angry, young and bored

Verse (same as first)
Johnny was only a lad
Johnny hates the scene
First he hit an old man
Then he hit and run Pauline
The record player spinning the best times
I never had
So why do my old records make me sad?

Cause they're so bad
And no one seems to understand
The glory of guitar
When out of tune
The off timing
The singers who can't sing
The beauty of flaw
Main Riff - 2x
With lead (echo and delay) - 8x

He's a teenage vegetable, this is the last resort
C5 (outro lead really starts here)
He's got PCP in his veins, he lives inside a quart
Johnny is a punk rocker, Johnny is he queer?
Johnny needed two bags, and a car to commandeer

Johnny wasn't liked much, but he had a lot of friends
Waits on stage, eating ludes, A mindless brainwashed pig
Johnny was a good man, till the day that he got shot
He had a jacked up chevy that could blow you off the spot
Johnny always needs more than he takes
Forgets a couple chords, forgets a couple breaks
Johnny says he's bound by only six strings to this world
Johnny Quest hates sellout bands and Johnny Punk snorts ritilin
And Johnny is an angry amputee
Play Outro Lead un-muted for the ending.
