They found him in the lane
With cocaine in his brain
They say he's on his own
But he didn't die alone
Someone saw him lying there
[Chorus]
I heard what was said
Another rebel dead
They said he killed himself
But it was someone else
[x2]
His name was on their list
And now he don't exist
He didn't stand a chance
Now upon his grave they dance
They were determined to blow him out
[Chorus x2]
And so the papers read
That Johnny Smith was dead
A little girl asked why
And made her brother cry
Why did they make him go that way?
[Chorus x4]
