The Replacements - Johnny's Gonna Die lyrics

Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads

Johnny always needs more than he takes

Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks

And everybody tells me Johnny is hot

Johnny needs something that he ain't got

And Johnny's gonna die

Johnny's gonna die

Johnny's gonna die

Everybody stares and everybody hoots

Johnny always needs more than he shoots

Standing by a beach and there ain't no lake

He's got friends without no guts, friends that never ache

In New York City, I guess it's cool when it's dark

There's one sure way Johnny you can leave your mark
