JOHN WAYNE Lyrics

Dylan isn't Dylan and Wayne isn't Wayne

They got where they are by changing their names

Jesus was the first Superman we know that of course

One got cross, got nailed, the other fell off his horse

A white boy's on stage singing black boys Blues

He's the bridge on the page making black music cool

Songs of the black slaves, hollering in the fields

Laid down in unmarked graves, never got million dollar deals

John Wayne, John Wayne defender of the west

All the way from Jeddah to Key West

You're still giving your Man of peace talk

While walking that legendary John Wayne walk

You're too long in the saddle

You're too long in the tooth

Been through too many battles

Listening to those Hollywood truths

A conspiracy in J.R.'s home town

Brought the hopes of the western world down

You could have asked him not to paint the town red

Coz you had to get rid of all those bugs in his and hers bed

Dylan denying he's made a prophet

Everyone's telling him to stop it

If you buy souls then that's the price

Your veins must be flowing with pure ice

John Wayne, John Wayne why don't you dance

And break free of that soldiers stance

You look so square you look so stiff

Just turn your head and face the rift

I e-mailed the Lord but it got leaked

On a rocking boat up on Cripple Creek

There's a burning bush over there

Out in the woods running bear

John Wayne, John Wayne count the notches on your gun

How many of them were your sons

You show your strength and your power

As you tread on the trembling flowers

John Wayne, John Wayne no twin you stand alone

All that grey meat's shaking on your bones

Buddy is gone can't spare you a dime

His plane went down before its time

John Wayne, John Wayne better cover your head

The Marlboro Man's shooting sticks of lead

He ain't no Mason he ain't no bride

John Wayne do you have God on your side
