i i i i i cry
i cry
i was born in a land
i don`t think you understand
god damn
what i am
i`m a native of this place
please don`t kick me in my face
my race
has been disgraced
won`t somebody testify
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
slap a liar in his eye
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
johnny
johnny johnny
i i i i i i i i i wonder why
why
puts us in a pumpkin shell
where you keep us very well
it`s hell
where i dwell
when history books are full of shit
i become the anarchist
i`m pissed at this
what this country claims to be
it`s a lie
no place for me
i bleed
won`t somebody testify
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
slap a liar in his eye
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
johnny
johnny johnny
i i i i i i i i i i decide
to defy
kill my trust if you must
but in my blood there is the lust
for life
that`s right
apache blood is in my heart
thrashing though me like a shark
crashing though the dark
won`t somebody testify
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
slap a liar in his eye
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
johnny
johnny johnny
what am i supposed to do
i feel like i`m cut in two
confused by rules
do these cultures clash or am i living in the past
i ask
please tell me fast
won`t somebody testify
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
slap a liar in his eye
kick a hole right in the sky
testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
johnny
johnny johnny
to what do i belong and if i change will i be wrong
i took my foot and kicked
a hole in the sky
i proceeded to plead
fathers help me decide
a jagged flash of light struck me in the eye
i turned around and found that i was still alive
snakes rise high from the purple black sky
the red cloud rains and the black horse rides
then it dawned on my like the mornin sun
i`m a part of two worlds and the mornin comes
glowing embers tend to remember when
the power that is peace was treated as a friend
i am a master of and i`ve got to take action
i`m a man
the animal man
