Lyrics:

(Come on boy, the tape is rollin')

(One, two, one two, two two two)



John was bad

He gave it everything he had

John he prayed

For all the people ever made

John was cool

He never did no after school



Late at night when he praised the Lord

He laid his hands down upon the bloody sword



John, St John be cool

Tell the people

They follow you

They follow you



But every night when he praised the Lord

he laid his hands down upon the bloody sword



Lay down upon the sword

Lay down upon the sword

Lay down upon the sword

Lay down your bloody sword



John, St John be cool

Tell the people

They follow you

John, St John be cool

Tell the people

They follow you



late at night when he praised the Lord

He lay his hands down upon the bloody sword

Laid down upon the sword

Down, down upon the sword

Laid down upon the sword

gettin' down upon the sword

Laid down upon the sword

Laid it down upon the sword

Laid down upon the sword

Late night TV roared
