Ballad Of Johnny Butt Lyrics

Sublime

Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
he'd just keep pushin' on even though he was barley alive
so shoot it up shoot it up it just don't matter
Johnny says he wants to go do says he wants to kill a cop
we've got a brand new dance it's called we've got ta over come
we've got a brand new dance it's called we've got ta over come
so Johnny just keep pushin' 'cuz the..the streets are yours
there'll come a day when all that shit won't matter
so shoot it up shoot it up just don't matter
when your reeeesisted anyway
we've got a brand new dance it's called we's gots ta over come
we've got a brand new dance it's called we've got ta over come
so Johnny kept on pushin' the streets are yours
and there'll come a day when all the that shit won't matter
so shoot it up shoot it up it just don't matter
reeeeesist it anyway
we've got a brand new dance it's called we've got ta over come
we've got a brand new dance it's called we've got ta over come
