Black sabbath johnny blade lyrics

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



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

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 them 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

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 `till 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

It's time to listen

Who's fool are you?
