Johnny Twobags

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Johnny Twobags doesn't have the blues And it makes him sad, brings him down But not down enough to have the blues He's too white to have the blues He thinks he should be black to have the blues He's too green to sing the blues And Orange County ain't the breeding ground for blues [Verse 2] Oh Johnny, do shut up I know you think you got it rough You say your life is hard Well, you didn't spend your days stealin' chickens from the rich folks' yard Don't play me for a fool Your dad wasn't traded for a mule Do you know what I mean? Even if your band gets dropped from Dr. Dream [Chorus] You ain't black and you ain't blind Your girlfriend's not the cheating kind Well, you're cleaned up and you're off the booze But maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues [Verse 3] Ken's stuck in a wheelchair His spine is bent beyond repair He's not singin' the blues And you never even wore orthopedic shoes So at school you might have failed But there's men being raped in jail They should be singing the blues And I'm starting to think that you haven't paid your dues [Chorus] You ain't black and you ain't blind Your girlfriend's not the cheating kind So you're cleaned up and you're off the booze Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues [Bridge] It's okay, so don't be sad that you're not sad 'Cause you're still rad to me [Verse 1] Johnny Twobags doesn't have the blues And it makes him sad, brings him down But not down enough to have the blues He's too white to have the blues He thinks he should be black to have the blues He's too green to sing the blues And Orange County ain't the breeding ground for blues [Chorus] You ain't black and you ain't blind Your girlfriend's not the cheating kind Now you're cleaned up and you're off the booze Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues [Outro] It's okay, so don't be sad That you're not sad 'Cause you're still rad to me You don't have to pay no dues or be born to lose A lot of people would kill to be in your shoes Maybe you weren't meant to sing the blues
