Johnny Kick A Hole In The Sky

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

puts us in a pumpkin shell where you keep us very well

it's hell, where i dwell

i'm pissed at this

what this country claims to be

it's a lie

no place for me

i bleed

kill my trust if you must

but in my blood there is lust

for life

that's right

apache blood is in my heart thrashing though me like a shark

crashing though the dark

what am i supposed to do

i feel like i'm cut into confused

by rules

do these cultures clash or am i living in the past

i ask please tell me fast

to what do i belong and if i change will i be wrong

i took my foot 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

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
