Lyrics Johnny Twobags - The Vandals

Johnny Twobags

Johnny Twobags doesn’t have the blues
And it makes him sad
Brings him down
But not down enough to have the blues
He’s too white to have the blues
He thinks he should be black to have the blues
He’s too green to sing the blues
And Orange County ain’t a breeding ground for blues
Oh Johnny, do shut up
I know you think you got it rough
You say your life is hard
Well you didn’t spend your days
Stealin' chickens from the rich folks yard
Don’t play me for a fool
Your dad wasn’t traded for a mule
Do you know what I mean
Even if your band gets dropped from Dr. Dream
You ain’t black and you ain’t blind
You’re girlfriend’s not the cheating kind
Well, you’re cleaned up and you’re off the booze
But maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues
Ken is stuck in a wheel chair
His spine is bent beyond repair
He’s not singin' the blues
And you never even wore orthopedic shoes
So at school you might have failed
But there’s men being raped in jail
They should be singing the blue
And I’m starting to think that you haven’t paid your dues
You ain’t black and you ain’t blind
You’re girlfriend’s not the cheating kind
So you’re cleaned up and you’re off the booze
Maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues
It’s okay, so don’t be sad
That your not sad
'Cause your still rad
To me
Johnny Twobags doesn’t have the blues
And it makes him sad
Brings him down
But not down enough to have the blues
He’s too white to have the blues
He thinks he should be black to have the blues
He’s too green to sing the blues
And Orange County ain’t a breeding ground for blues
You ain’t black and you ain’t blind
You’re girlfriend’s not the cheating kind
Now you’re cleaned up and you’re off the booze
Maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues
It’s okay, so don’t be sad
That your sad
'Cause your still rad
To me
You don’t have to pay no dues
Or be born to lose
A lot of people would kill to be in your shoes
Maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues
