Alice Cooper - 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 VC 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 VC 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 VC 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 VC girl
Jackknife Johnny
