The keyboard intro in not included, it would be a cool to have.

The solo is off on a couple of bends, but is really close.

Tortured and twisted

He walks the streets alone

People avoid him

They know the street's his home

Cold blade of silver

His eyes, they burn so wild

Mean as a tiger

Society's own child

Don't you try to burn his blade

You know he'll cut you, Johnny Blade

He's the meanest guy around this town

One look and he will cut you down

Johnny Blade

Johnny Blade

Life has no meaning

And death's his only friend

Will fate surprise him

Where will he meet his end

He feels so bitter

He's so full of hate

To die in the gutter

I guess that's Johnny's fate

Rivals all across the land

He kills them with his knife in hand

He's the meanest guy around this town

One look and he will cut you down

Johnny Blade

Johnny Blade

Well, you know that Johnny's a spider

And his web is the city at night

He's a victim of modern frustration

That's the reason he's so ready to fight

He's the one who should be afraid

What will happen to you Johnny Blade?

Oh, he knows his future's decided

And he ain't gonna to change it, no way

He was born to die in the gutter

He'll keep fighting to the end of his day

He's alone all through his life

His only friend is a switchblade knife

He's the one who should be afraid

What will happen to you Johnny Blade?

You fool the People

Whos fool is who?

It's time to listen

The fool is you!
