Johnny was a hero in an American War Fought for his country and the girl next door He became a hero and his father was proud Then the day he died they hung a name on his shroud
Johnny Boy, You fought for your country But the guns they turned around and got you Johnny Boy, You fought for your country, But the bastards turned around and fucked you
You became a hero and your father was proud Then the day you died they hung a name on yer shroud You jumped up and took the last battle call Then the guns turned around and you took the last fall
