Artist/Band: Cat Power
Lyrics for Song: Johnny's Got a Gun
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Cat Power



Crush the resistence before it's begun

Sounds of voices you don't have to confront

Your hands upon a hero

Becoming a man



Better watch out

'Cause johnny's got a gun



Ooh get all the armies

Get all the arms

Get all the armories

The harbour's blocated

The streets barricated

Every thought is under lock and key

There's an ideal rising that you can't protect

From the same poor souls you say you protect

There's a fire of burning hatred in every mother's son

Better watch out because johnny's got a gun



Anchored your war ships

Claimed all the air-strips

Readied the seeds of decay

Stolen youth to fill your troups

Keeping rebellion at bay

The fathers before you now lie in the graves

Being remembered before it's too late

And the sons you call rebels becoming one

Better watch out because johnny's got a gun



The hour's upon you

The past will soon haunt you

Yesterday becomes today

The helpless the hopeless

The lost ones the homeless

The weak can't afford to be brave

There's only so much a poor man can take

Before he no longer fears making mistakes

Dying's the answer

The dying be done

Better watch out because johnny's got a gun



Come from the country, come from the country

Come from the country, come from the country

The city and shore

They come from the wind and the rain

They come from the fires whose ashes are cold

They come from the desert snow

They feel they'll be dying but more than that fear

The cries of oppression that no-one can hear

To every last rebel

Surrender's all wrong

'Cause johnny's got a gun
