Lyrics:BMI

John was a reasonable man,
Lived alone, working with his hands,
Bought a piece of land outside of town.

He set up shop and business was slow,
Money was tight, no place to go,
Winter’s hard and the snow keeps coming down.

Verse 2:

John was a hardheaded man,
Deep in debt and he made a plan,
To sell his land, walk away a millionaire

But the City passed and the deal was off,
And all John thought he had was lost,
And that’s when John’s war he did declare.


Chorus:

Hey, hey, hey,
Better get outta the way,
Judgement’s coming and there’s gonna be hell to pay

Why, oh, why,
See the look in his eye,
John’s coming out, for a night on the town,
Nothing left to say, gonna tear it all down

Verse 3:

John was a handy man,
He built the rig with his own bare hands,
Metal plates and armor twelve inches thick,

He drove it through the City Hall,
He drove it through the shopping mall,
And nothing left behind but a pile of bricks

Hey, hey, hey,
Better get outta the way,
Judgement’s coming and there’s gonna be hell to pay

Why, oh, why,
See the look in his eye,
John’s coming out, for a night on the town,
Nothing left to say, gonna tear it all down


Neighbors cried and children screamed
When Johnny drove his death machine,
Straight through the heart of town

Gunshots couldn’t penetrate
The rolling fort that Johnny made,
Until the shot from John’s hand took him down

Hey, hey, hey,
Better get outta the way,
Judgement’s coming and there’s gonna be hell to pay

Why, oh, why,
See the look in his eye,
John’s coming out, for a night on the town,
Nothing left to say, gonna tear it all down
