Slapstick - Johnny lyrics

Johnny wanted his life to go far He went to town and bought a guitar He had a friend and he showed him a chord It was fun, but he started getting bored He developed a need for fame and greed said a rock band is what I need He bought a whammy bar and sold his soul Him and his friends played corporate rock-n-roll They played loud, you could hear it Johnny smelled just like teen spirit Not too long playin in clubs meeting lots of girls giving him lovin Then finally his big break came His career lead to fortune and fame It's Johnny and the Allstar Band Talkin about playin on the radio with Johnny and the Allstarband Talkin about playin on the radio and in stadiums Not gonna be a Punk rock Band No no no na na no Johnny Oh No His career was a big success Rolling Stone cover in a state of undress The ladies loved him, he made 'em cry Johnny was the American Messiah Gold records hanging on his wall, " Johnny Rules " in the bathroom stall Yeah he knew that the music was sh** It kept on paying, so he kept playing it His success clearly climbed MTV video in the meantime Got the grunge look, lookin unclean started making the ripoff scene His success was gone in a year Wow! Johnny what a great career It's Johnny and the Allstar Band Talkin about playin on the radio with Johnny and the Allstar band Talkin about playin on the radio and in stadiums Not gonna be a Punk rock Band No no no na na no Johnny Oh No Johnny wanted his life to go far He went to town and bought a guitar He had a friend and he showed him a chord It was fun, but he started getting bored He developed this need for greed said a rock band is what I need He bought a whammy bar and sold his soul Him and his friends played corporate rock-n-roll MTV on the line, got a video for a long time Got the grunge look, lookin unclean started making the ripoff scene His success was gone year Wow Johnny what a great career It's Johnny and the Allstar Band Talkin about playin on the radio with Johnny and the Allstar band Talkin about playin on the radio and in stadiums Not gonna be a Punk rock Band No no no na na no Johnny Oh No
