"A subvertisement. A joke? A Riddle. I feel so obsolete when it comes to all this and honestly it's about time. I am constantly thinking of quitting. Johnny (not John Paul Eich, nor John Lyndon nor John Lennon) has been called an aimless folk zero. Accused of riding around in cars and printing revolutionary newspapers and going broke. He has ideas that burn him awake at night, he cannot hold a job. He is erotically moved by economic threats in white envelopes from government agencies. From East Palestine Ohio to Tehran Iran. A song to settle the score and use the platform for something worth it, for once and for the first time, try to have fun with it. Like a neurotic flash of lightning. A ball of fire in the night sky from a chattery missile sent to shatter peacetime. Starring Mickey Mouse, Mahsa Amini, Jinx, Jane and the Queen of California." - Jeffrey Eaton
// LYRICS
Hi my name is Johnny and I'm sorry the house is a mess
I've just received a threatening letter from the IRS
And a similar bit of erotic mail from the Iowa Department of Revenue
I'm counting on you tonight my strange lover
They'll find me sulking towards a government center
Clutching a copy of the apocalypse flea
Storm Struck Johnny
Saw one body carrying a red flag
Next thing johnny knew the coroner and the body bag
Life Stuck Johnny
Saw two bodies carrying a white flag
Next thing Johnny knew
I knew you when you were poor
I heard you're working for the CIA
Heard you ain't poor no more
I couldn't hack it at the factory, sorry daddy
I slumped out of university, sorry mommy
What the **** is wrong with me
Hi my name is Johnny
Tornado Johnny
Derecho Johnny
We're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn with the empire
I've got Jinx and Jane and the Queen of California in the backseat
And we're riding in threes
I've just received a dispatch, from Mickey Mouse of East Palestine
And he was clutching a copy of the apocalypse flea chanting
Mahsa Amini, Mahsa Amini
Hi my name is Johnny and I'm sorry the house is a mess
I've just received a threatening letter from the IRS
And a similar bit of erotic mail from the Iowa Department of Revenue
I'm counting on you tonight my strange lover
They'll find me sulking towards a government center
Clutching a copy of the apocalypse flea
