lyrics

Johnny was a gambler
He could deal a hand at cards
With the quickfire slip of a mechanics grip
He could steal the queen of Hearts
Magician and a writer a poet and a thinker too
His words are like the the shining path
The things he says he’ll do

Johnny was a stranger and he had a crazy dream
Of a world outside your vision
where no hunger and no greed
No government and no politics
No religion and no war
No heaven and no hell these things
we all keep fighting for

Johnny had a revelation
He dealt himself a lifelong plan
and his words are full of vision for an ordinary man
A boxer and a fighter
Pulls no punches and he’s brave
Gonna rage about the future of all man kind
From the cradle to the grave

We met out on long island
“Tween the Devil and the Deep Blue sea
I was just a travelling man
Oh a wandering wild and free
He and I’d go out drinking nights in downtown city bars
and we’d talk about the world and he would rage
As we travelled on the subway cars

On the church steps after midnight
Where the angels fall from grace
We’d be drunk as Lords and ramblin’ on
‘bout the speed of the human race
He’d say your life is for the living boy “you’ve got seventy years or more”
Gotta seize the day and realize
What you’ve been put here for.

We’re the nuclear generation
We’re all veterans of cold war
Of oh so comforting newspeak, of a military metaphor
We are the peoples revolution the enemy from within
And the worlds a sinking ship in a storm, I’m a passenger and I can’t swim
So be a boxer and a fighter, pull no punches and be brave
And rage about the future of all man kind
From the cradle to the grave.
