Johnee Jingo |
| He was just fifteen, he was a new trainee |
| He lied about it for the opportunity |
| To defend the border his life was sworn |
| Though not a generation was native born |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| He had lost the battle but won the war |
| When the generals said he couldn’t fight no more |
| He was proud and bitter at what he’d done |
| So he passed it off to his favorite son |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Jingo don’t you fight for me |
| Jingo don’t you speak for me |
| Jingo don’t you fight for me |
| Jingo don’t you speak for me |
| To the man who owns the land |
| We’re all the same |
| But when his grip begins to slip |
| Then he’ll be calling out your name |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| And the throne, the pulpit, and the politician |
| Create a thirst for power in the common man |
| It’s a taste for blood passed off as bravery |
| Or just patriotism hiding bigotry |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Jingo don’t you speak for me |
| Jingo don’t you fight for me |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Jingo don’t you speak for me |
| Jingo don’t you fight for me |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Johnee Jingo |
| Jingo don’t you speak for me… |
