Johnny Blade Lyrics - Black Sabbath

Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone 

People avoid him, they know the street's his own 

Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild 

Mean as a tiger, society's own child 

Those who try to burn him pay 

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 

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 that 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 

Who's fool are you?
