  • Johnny was a skinhead
    and now Johnny’s dead wore boots and braces
    with red laces in his Docs
    cut his hair real short
    done the skinhead thing
    but Johnny liked the status
    believed in the spirit of ’69

    Johnny was a skinhead and now Johnny’s dead
    Johnny was a skinhead and now Johnny’s dead
    because of the stupidity of the people who believe MTV

    Everybody thought
    Johnny was a racist
    the racists thought
    Johnny was a red
    but Johnny was neither
    he was just a trad skinhead
    just wanted a Chelsie Bird
    just wanted to have some fun

    Johnny was a skinhead and now Johnny’s dead
    Johnny was a skinhead and now Johnny’s dead
    because of the stupidity of the people who believe MTV

    MTV ran a special
    said all skins where bad
    said all skins where racists
    implied all skins should be dead
    Some Jock-O boys saw it
    Saw Johnny on the street
    Those Jock-O boys took Johnny
    and beat him until he was muther-fucking dead

    Johnny was a skinhead and now Johnny’s dead
    Johnny was a skinhead and now Johnny’s dead
    because of the stupidity of the people who believe MTV
