(Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / Dick Wagner)
|
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
