Rancid - The Ballad of Jimmy and Johnny lyrics

[Rancid - The Ballad of Jimmy and Johnny lyrics]

Jimmy & Johnny are two friends of mine
Skinheads what they claim
Outside similarities but they don't
Feel the same johnny thinks Jimmy's a mod
And Jimmy thinks Johnny's a punk
Jimmy listens to ska and
Johnny likes Last Resort

Jimmy and Johnny in the trenches
Went down tonight
Drinking Guinness and a fight, fight, fight
Once you're in the
Middle everything's alright
Skinhead tats and a Fred Perry
There's a war in the cemetery
Start to fight, start to drinking
What the fuck were they thinking?

Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Jimmy had his two-tone coat
On the back of his scooter that night
Johnny had a jacked up Chevy
That could blow you right off the line

Skinhead tats and a Fred Perry
There's a war in the cemetery
Start to fight, start to drinking
What the fuck were they thinking?

Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
