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

{refren}
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

I want to ride... wild

Puts us in a pumpkin shell where you keep us very well
It's hell, where I dwell
When history books are full of shit, I become the anarchist
I'm pissed, at this
What this country claims to be, it's a lie
No place for me, I bleed

{refren}

I will decide... to confide

Kill my trust if you must but in my blood there is the lust
For life, that's right
Apache blood is in my heart thrashing through me like a shark
Crashing, through the dark

{refren}

I confide... to fight

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

{refren}

I write... that's right

To what do I belong and if I change will I be wrong
Be wrong, that's strong
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 me like the mornin' sun
I'm a part of two worlds and the mornin' comes
Glowing embers tend to remember when
The power that is peace was treated as a friend
I am a master of a... and I've got to take action
I'm a man, the animal man
