NOFX - Jaw, Knee, Music Lyrics

Johnny has a problem
Johnny is out of control
He had a TV party
With the kids in the black hole
Stealing people's mail
And lynching the landlord
Things to do when angry, young and bored

Johnny was only a lad
Johnny hates the scene
First he hit an old man
Then he hit and run Pauline
The record player spinning the best times
I never had
So why do my old records make me sad?

Cause they're so bad
And no one seems to understand
The glory of guitar
When out of tune
The off timing
The singers who can't sing
The beauty of flaw

He's a teenage vegetable
Listens to Last Resort
He's got PCP in his veins
He lives inside a quart
Johnny is a punk rocker
Johnny is he queer?
Johnny needed two bags
And a car to commandeer
Johnny wasn't liked much
But he had a lot of friends
Waits on stage
Eating ludes
A mindless brainwashed pig
Johnny was a good man
Till the day that he got shot
He had a jacked up chevy
That could blow you off the spot
Johnny always needs
More than he takes
Forgets a couple chords
Forgets a couple breaks
Johnny says he's bound
By only six strings to this world
Johnny Quest hates sellout bands
And Johnny Punk snorts Ritalin
And Johnny is an angry amputee

Bush funded a lot of counter Soros media. It makes me laugh. Reading to those kids, screw your plans. Lulz.

This band could have been so great!

They later released this song in 2010 on "The Longest EP"

One of the best song in the compilation, along with school of assassins by anti flag and the ones by none more black and and authority zero

Nothing To Do When You're Locked Away in Vacancy is a true punk masterpiece

Rest in peace George. End of a cool time.

I think there should be à rock against trump like if u agree

I wonder if people know this is a reference to degenerated by Reagan Youth
(If you didn't know, now you know.... Dilt)

+Kevin Vega holy shit ive listened to both songs a shit ton and never made the connection. thanks.

@lewis pepperrell youre welcome :)

This is a reference to a lot more than just "Degenerated." Every line but what's in the bridge is a reference to a different punk song. Look it up! :)

@Zech Simpson true trueeee

love this song

Johnny had a jacked up Chevy that'll blow you right off the spot! Nofx does a lot of goofy songs but then they pull one like this off just to remind you that they can't be fucked with!

Johnny music. Haha
But seriously I fucking love this song. That last line and the outro always got to me

The glory of guitar when out of tune

the off timing
the singers who can't sing
the beauty of flaw
(those are some of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard)

nah, as in; a teenage kid that listens to music that was released when he was 2 years old, and still watches minecraft lets plays.

+Ra Eye
Don't be a little bitch about it, that video was streamed 16 hours ago and you know it.
You tried making fun of a guy for appreciating the lyrics, because you were trying to look edgy and really grown up, but you just looked like a fucking dork, throwing around your reddit shit: 'don't be that guy xDD'
Now you're double posting comments because you're upset about it.

I'm not bitter and I'm not old, I'm just not an 'avante-garde' teenager that replied to a 2 year old comment, with an edgy smoking profile picture reblogged from tumblr after you finished watching your little lets plays and your juice box. I think we're done here.

Ra Eye don't be that guy ;)

As far as I'm concerned, every last one of us is that guy and we're all bastards.

@Ra Eye fucks his mom

jaw knee...the title? what does that mean? jaw-knee sounds like johnny? Or i'm dumb? LOL

I were probably drunk when I wrote this shit..god...

@Johnny Hey, don't stress out about it. Drunk posting is GOOD posting. NEVER be ashamed of being drunk. Unless, I dunno, I kinda forgot where I was going with this when the music stopped.

I'm sober and I still have this question.

@SaltpeterTaffy Wait, there was a question? What question? When? WHERE'S MY BEER?

I love the way the bloody mist feels against my skinnn,: dr richtofen

Lol not sure how that relates to the song but love that game

neverwoner oh yeah, 2 years later still kicking butt w@w baby

This song is the ultimate punk homage

nofx needs to do a cover album where they cover every song referenced in this song. could be epic.

two retards didnt like this v.v


NOFX is the fkn best thing in this universe!!!!!

I live my life by that lyric man!

I got the two volumes of Rock Against Bush in a second hand shop some months ago for only 3 euros, and it's the best purchase I've ever made. They are little jewels.

Confirm!!

you got a favorite
HOW!

Favorite song by NOFX. then again.. every song by them kicks ass

@DysenteryAndy You username a reference to Dysentery Gary?

@Reallyape ...Your jaw will fall to your knees because of our music? Idon't know...

DysenteryAndy or the music hits you like a knee in the jaw?

@DysenteryAndy hurr durr

what does "music" mean?

4:31 epic

Oingo Boingo reference whooooooooooooo

Awesome song.

lets support the troops by listing to them instead of having faux patriotism parades pradsing them when were not were just showing support for our courrupt government

one of the best songs by nofx not put on one of their albums.

TV party!!!

*adds to favorites*

Jonny lynchs when hes board... I hate to see him angry.

all the lyric's are references to old punk songs. x

@dangodoffire how?

@dangodoffire How so?

i like the reference to the dead kennedys songs "lynch the landlord" and "stealing peoples mail" from 0:35 0:38

fat mike is a fat hypocrite

@thesevencross

Johnny wears his leather like a crown of thorns

fat mike would laugh at all of us lets face it but we would all laugh in his fat face too :)

SO good.

well to be honest i speak scottish english nd naw all the words are the exact same plus i write in shrt online cz i dont giv a fuck how proper it is on some shitty youtube vid so stop being another over opinionated arrogant american wank stain and get tae fuck

A of references are also have nothing to do with it...

roflmao

Yes we do, and yes we are cool.

The fact you actually care about having a thumbs up or thumbs down on a youtube comment shows how cool you are.

we're all not ok

i wish they had more songs like this

why would u even coment that dumb remark, and juss for that i gave u another thumbs down

your not ok

Love this song, sooo many memories :p

Ahh this song brings back so many memories of being 15 and wasted, passing out behind the Youth Centre Punk Show.

WOOO NOFX!

I love this album. Got it when it came out. Reminds me of good days.

Maybe he identify himself with johnny xD

sorry for my english^^

jaw-knee has a problem xDDD

This song is so good, but it makes me sad.

NOFX @groez!

awesome song no matter how many times i hear it!

it makes total sense! ya just gotta listen ;) and think

Pretty much the whole song is composed of a bunch of different songs with characters named johnny in them (Jaw knee, get it?)
