Текст песни Todd Rundgren - Johnee Jingo
Todd Rundgren - Johnee Jingo слова песни
He was just fifteen, he was a new trainee
He lied about it for the opportunity
To defend the border his life was sworn
Though not a generation was native born
Johnee Jingo
Johnee Jingo
He had lost the battle but won the war
When the generals said he couldn`t fight no more
He was proud and bitter at what he`d done
So he passed it off to his favorite son
Johnee Jingo
Johnee Jingo
Jingo don`t you fight for me
Jingo don`t you speak for me
To the man who owns the land
We`re all the same
But when his grip begins to slip
Then he`ll be calling out your name
Johnee Jingo
And the throne, the pulpit, and the politician
Create a thirst for power in the common man
It`s a taste for blood passed off as bravery
Or just patriotism hiding bigotry
