Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone   People avoid him, they know the street's his own   Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild   Mean as a tiger, society's own child      Those who try to burn him pay   You don't do that to Johnny Blade   He's the meanest guy around his town   One look and he will cut you down   Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade      Life has no meaning, and Death's his only friend   Will fate surprise him, where will he meet his end?   He feels so bitter, yes he's so full of hate   To die in the gutter, I guess that's Johnny's fate      Rivals all across the land   He kills them with his knife in hand   He's the meanest guy around his town   One look and he will cut you down   Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade   Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade      Well you know that Johnny's a spider   And his web is the city at night   He's a victim of modern frustration   That's the reason he's so ready to fight      He's the one that should be afraid   What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?      Oh he knows his future's decided   And he ain't gonna change it, no way   He was born to die in the gutter   He'll keep fighting `till the end of his days      Been alone all through his life   His only friend is a switchblade knife   He's the one who should be afraid   What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?      You fool the people   Who's fooling who?   It's time to listen   Who's fool are you?
