Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Dunno what the **** is wrong with me
Hi my name is Johnny
Tornado Johnny
Derecho Johnny
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
