Johnny California just like all who came before him was the king of the smallest hill He was the prep school Napoleon But he never came up short And if you got in his way, way way back in the day Then you'd be in for a world full of hurt Now Johnny's reign was over and like all of those before him I was thinking it was my turn to shine It's time to take what I want 'Cause I got everything I need And if you stand in my way, and refuse or delay, you'll be making in a bed full of dirt Oh, and I know there will be questions Oh, I know that karma can't wait in line If in fifteen years the man comes looking for answers You damn well bet I know exactly what he'll find Oh he'll find that it was blitzkrieg It all happened so, fast fast fast It was blitzkrieg I knew that feeling would never last, no no When we were jouncing around like we had nothing to lose Heading home to daddy's money, getting lost in our booze The only thing that I remember is that good guys always lose Oh hoo hoo Oh hoo hoo Oh hoo hoo Maria Valentina had a happy ever after until Uncle Sam called Johnny's name She as was tough as Antoinette But she never lost her head And so day by day she would party away while she was wearing her soul on her shirt It was a steamy summer shindig at a country club in Clarence that was right before the Fourth of July It was time to take what I want 'Cause I don't know what I need And just like Johnny before, that's when I settled the score, and made myself a one night valentine Oh and I knew there would be questions Don't I know that karma can't wait in line And in fifteen years when the man comes looking for answers Well damn you bet I'll say I know he wasn't mine Oh I'll say that it was blitzkrieg It all happened so fast, fast fast It was blitzkrieg I knew that feeling would never last, no no When we were jouncing around like we had nothing to lose Heading home to daddy's money, getting lost in our booze The only thing that I remember is that good guys always lose Oh hoo hoo Oh hoo hoo Oh hoo hoo Good guys, good guys, always lose The good guys, good guys, always lose Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am? What do you mean when you say that I'm screwed? What do you mean when you say that I'm screwed? What do you mean when you say that I'm screwed? What do you mean when you say that I'm screwed? What do you mean when you say that I'm screwed?
