Verse 1:
Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets 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

Pre-Chorus:
Those that tried to burn him paid
You don’t do that to Johnny Blade

Chorus:
He’s the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade

Verse 2:
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

Pre-Chorus:
Rivals all across the land
He kills them with his knife in hand

Chorus:
He’s the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade

Bridge:
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?

Verse 3:
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 till the end of his days

Bridge:
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?

Outro:
You fool the people, who’s fooling who?
It’s time to listen, who’s fool are you?
