Tortured and twisted
He walks the street 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
Those that tried to burn him paid
You don`t do that to Johnny Blade
He`s the meanest guy around his 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
Yes 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`em with his knife in hand
He`s the meanest guy around his 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 change it, no way
He was born to die in the gutter
He`ll keep fighting to the end of his days
Been 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
Who`s fooling who?
It`s time to listen
The fool is you!
