The Ballad of Johnny Butt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
He'd just keep pushin' on, even though he was barely alive
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Johnny says he wants to go do it, says he wants to kill a cop

[Chorus]
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome

[Verse 2]
So, Johnny just keep pushin', 'cause the, the streets are yours
There'll come a day when all that shit won't matter
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
When you're resisting anyway

[Chorus]
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we's gots to overcome
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome

[Verse 3]
So, Johnny, he kept on pushin', the streets are yours
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Resisting anyway

[Chorus]
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
