Johnny Appleseed

Joe Strummer · Global A Go-Go [2001]

Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed



He might pass by in the hour of need



There's a lot of souls



Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory



Hey, look there goes



Hey, look there goes



If you're after getting the honey, hey



Then you don't go killing all the bees



Lord, there goes Martin Luther King



Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring



I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying



Is what was true now no longer so



Hey, I hear what you're saying



Hey, I hear what he's saying



If you're after getting the honey, hey



Then you don't go killing all the bees



What the people are saying



And we know every road, go go



What the people are saying



There ain't no berries on the trees



Let the summertime sun



Fall on the apple, fall on the apple



Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine



Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line



We think there is a soul, we don't know



That soul is hard to find



Hey, down along the road



Hey, down along the road



If you're after getting the honey



Then you don't go killing all the bees



Hey, it's what the people are saying



It's what the people are saying



Hey, there ain't no berries on the trees



Hey, that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees



You're checking out the honey, baby



You had to go killin' all the bees
