Johnny Lyrics - Slapstick

Johnny wanted his life to go far He went to town and bought a guitar 

He had a friend and he showed him a chord It was fun, but he started getting bored 

He developed a need for fame and greed said a rock band is what I need 

He bought a whammy bar and sold his soul Him and his friends played corporate rock-n-roll 

They played loud, you could hear it Johnny smelled just like teen spirit 

Not too long playin' in clubs meeting lots of girls giving him lovin' 

Then finally his big break came His career lead to fortune and fame 

It's Johnny and the Allstar Band 

Talkin' about playin' on the radio with Johnny and the Allstarband 

Talkin' about playin' on the radio and in stadiums 

Not gonna be a Punk rock Band 

No no no na na no Johnny Oh No 

His career was a big success Rolling Stone cover in a state of undress 

The ladies loved him, he made 'em cry Johnny was the American Messiah 

Gold records hanging on his wall, " Johnny Rules " in the bathroom stall 

Yeah he knew that the music was shit It kept on paying, so he kept playing it 

His success clearly climbed MTV video in the meantime 

Got the grunge look, lookin' unclean started making the ripoff scene. 

His success was gone in a year Wow! Johnny what a great career 

It's Johnny and the Allstar Band 

Talkin' about playin' on the radio with Johnny and the Allstar band 

Talkin' about playin' on the radio and in stadiums 

Not gonna be a Punk rock Band 

No no no na na no Johnny Oh No 

Johnny wanted his life to go far He went to town and bought a guitar 

He had a friend and he showed him a chord It was fun, but he started getting bored 

He developed this need for greed said a rock band is what I need 

He bought a whammy bar and sold his soul Him and his friends played corporate rock-n-roll 

MTV on the line, got a video for a long time 

Got the grunge look, lookin' unclean started making the ripoff scene. 

His success was gone year Wow Johnny what a great career 

It's Johnny and the Allstar Band 

Talkin' about playin' on the radio with Johnny and the Allstar band 

Talkin' about playin' on the radio and in stadiums 

Not gonna be a Punk rock Band 

No no no na na no Johnny Oh No
