The Vandals’s Johnny Twobags Lyrics

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 a breeding ground for blues – 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 – You ain’t black and you ain’t blind – You’re girlfriend’s not the cheating kind – Well you’re cleaned up and you’re off the booze – Maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues – Ken is struck in a wheel chair – His spine is bent beyond repair – He’s not singin’ the blues – and you never even ? of a ? excuse – So at school you might have failed – But there’s men being raped in jail – They should be singing the blue – and I’m starting to think that you haven’t paid your dues – You ain’t black and you ain’t blind – You’re girlfriend’s not the cheating kind – Well you’re cleaned up and you’re off the booze – Maybe you weren’t meant to sing 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 a breeding ground for blues – It’s ok, so don’t be sad – that your sad – cause your still rad – to me – 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 a breeding ground for blues – You ain’t black and you ain’t blind – You’re girlfriend’s not the cheating kind – Well you’re cleaned up and you’re off the booze – Maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues – It’s ok, so don’t be sad – that your sad – cause your still rad – to me – You don’t have to pay no dues or be born to lose – Alot of people would kill to be in your shoes – Maybe you weren’t meant to sing the blues
