[Verse]
  E
Mr. Johnny knows that book just like the back of his hand
  B                                                       A
"Trust in the lord, man, he''ll take you to the promised land,"
                               E
As he shakes the bible in his hand.
  E
Mr. Johnny's got his tent and he's got his fans
  B                                                     A
Fancy cars in the driveway and the people say "Look at this."
                                  E
They don't know his ignorance is bliss.


[Chorus]
  E                                   B                   A
Screaming "love thy neighbor" as he laughs at midgets on TV,
  E                            B                   A
Thumbing the cross around his neck and trying sobriety.
  E                                B                           A
He looks so peculiar through his specs, 'cause he still can't see.
                           E
Is it clear to anyone but me? Is he kidding anyone but me?


[Verse]
  E
Mr. Johnny knows not much and he knows it well.
  B                                                A
Two types if people, those to heaven and those to hell.
                                 E
He takes a drag but he doesn't inhale.
  E
Somewhere down that long tough and winding path
  B                                                    A
Mr Johnny's golden rule turn the water green crimson black
                                     E
His fundamentals are a thing of the past


[Chorus]
  E                             B             A
Teaching the children all the virtues of equality
  E                      B                    A
Boy tuck your shirt tail in, no room for minorities
  E                                B                         A
He looks so peculiar through his specs cause he still can't see
                          E
Is he kidding anyone but me? Is it clear to anyone but me?


[Verse]
  E
Mr. Johnny raises his brow as the sun goes down
  B                                                   A
Through this strange cacophony he hears the trumpet sound
                                           E
And then he smiles as his feet leave the ground


[Chorus]
  E                                   B                   A
Screaming "love thy neighbor" as he laughs at midgets on tv
  E                             B                   A
thumbing the cross around his neck, he's trying sobriety
  E                             B                           A
looks so peculiar through his specs because he still can't see
                          E
Is he kidding anyone but me? Is it clear to anyone but me?
