todd rundgren - johnee jingo (live 26-aug-1991) lyrics
[verse 1]
he was just fifteen, he was a new trainee
he lied about it for the opportunity
to defend the border his life was sworn
though not a generation was native born
[chorus]
johnee jingo
johnee jingo
[verse 2]
he had lost the battle but won the war
when the generals said he couldn’t fight no more
he was proud and bitter at what he’d done
so he p-ssed it off to his favorite son
[chorus]

johnee jingo
jingo don’t you fight for me
jingo don’t you speak for me
jingo don’t you fight for me
jingo don’t you speak for me
[bridge]
to the man who owns the land
we’re all the same
but when his grip begins to slip
then he’ll be calling out your name
[chorus]
johnee jingo
johnee jingo
[verse 3]
and the throne, the pulpit, and the politician
create a thirst for power in the common man
it’s a taste for blood p-ssed off as bravery
or just patriotism hiding bigotry
[outro]
