Jingo

He was just 15, he was a new trainee
He lied about it for the opportunity To defend the border his life was sworn
Though not a generation was native born He had lost the battle but won the war
When the general said he couldn't fight no more

He was proud and bitter at what he'd done So he passed it on to his favorite son
Johnny Jingo, Johnny Jingo Johnny Jingo, Johnny Jingo
Jingo, don't you fight for me Jingo, don't you speak for me
And the throne, the pulpit, the politicians Yeet a thirst for power in the common man

It's a taste for blood passed off as bravery Or just patriotism hiding bigotry
Johnny Jingo, Johnny Jingo Johnny Jingo, Johnny Jingo
Jingo, don't you fight for me Jingo, don't you speak for me
Johnny Jingo, Johnny Jingo
