The Ballad of Jimmy & Johnny - Rancid (cover)

Jimmy and Johnny hopefully have grown up a wee bit since 1994 and are laughing together listening to this song. Like Rodney said "can't we all just get along?" Growing up in Oceanside CA in the 80's and 90's, this type of fighting over ridiculously dumb shit was very prevalent, lot's of gangs, lot's of knuckleheads. One could find themselves being life-flighted to the nearest hospital very quickly if tongues didn't hold. Don't be an asshole!
The Ballad of Jimmy & Johnny
Jimmy and Johnny two friends of mine
Skinhead what they claim
Outside similarities, but no they don't feel the same
See, Johnny think Jimmy’s a mod
And Jimmy think Johnny's a punk
Jimmy listens to ska
And Johnny likes last resort
Jimmy and Johnny in the trenches
We’re down tonight
Drinkin’ Guinness smokin’ 555
Once you're in the middle everything’s alright
Skinhead tats and a, Fred Perry
There's a war in the, cemetery
Start to fight, stop the drinkin’
What the fuck, were they thinkin’?
Jimmy and Johnny, tell me what you're seeing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Jimmy had his two-tone girl
Back of his scooter that night
Johnny had a jacked-up Chevy
That could blow you right off, off the lines
Skinhead tats and a, Fred Perry
There's a war in the, cemetery
Start to fight, stop the drinkin’
What the fuck, were they thinkin’?
Jimmy and Johnny, tell me what you're seeing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Jimmy and Johnny, tell me what you're seeing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
