Jackknife Johnny

Lyrics

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
