From his army confessions of his military days   You still carry the shrapnel you're shell-shocked and dazed   Dear Johnny have you lost your way   Or like denim and leather are you faded and frayed      Institute lackies with hot bourbon breath   White coats and needles Johnny like to scare you to death   Dear Johnny do you feel your best   When you're strung out at night on your morphine and meth      Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie   Tool of a dagger's drawn world   Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you   For bringing home that V.C. girl   Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world      From the tone deaf hearing of the draft board game      You were washing cars down in Dallas when the holocaust came   Dear Johnny your excuse was lame   All your friends sleep in boxes while you sleep in chains      Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey   Tool of a dagger's drawn world   Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you   For bringing home that V.C. girl   Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world      Jackknife Johnny you're a floor moppin' flunkie   Tool of a dagger's drawn world   Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you   For bringing home that V.C. girl   Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world      Jackknife Johnny you're a bad jungle monkey   Tool of a dagger's drawn world   Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate you   For bringing home that V.C. girl   Jackknife Johnny
