Johnny Fast Lyrics by The Replacements

2008

Johnny always needs more than he takes
Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks

Johnny always takes more than he needs
Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads
Everybody tells me that Johnny is hot
Johnny needs something, he ain't got

Johnny's gonna die
Johnny's gonna die
Johnny's gonna

Everybody stares and everybody hoots
Johnny always needs more than he shoots

Standing by a beach and there ain't no lake
Friends without no guts, friends that never ache
New York City, I guess it's cool when it's dark
There's one way, Johnny, leave your mark

Johnny's gonna die
Johnny's gonna die
Na na na na na na

Johnny, Johnny
Johnny, ... fucking ... [?]

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye

Bye bye
Bye bye
