Lyrics

Fog horn blows in from the outer towns,
Says Cougar?s boys are coming down, down, down,
They roll like shadows coming in off of the shore,
And ain?t nobody gonna hold them out.

You call on faith, you call on what you will,
He gets his courage from the Switchblade Soldiers,
The line the alleys and then fall out on the roads,
Cause they?ll be pledging their souls when they?ll be?

Meeting at the edge of a cold grey night,
With hearts on empty and their souls bled dry
It?s alright, cause Johnny?s gonna bring some fire and he?s gonna blow the whole out.

Rat traps were set on Franklin Street,
The Cougars came down like a cold dry lightning,
And Soldiers called out for a savior from the war,
Cause they just can?t take control.

And they?ll be waiting in the middle of the cold gray night,
With hearts on empty and their souls bled dry
It?s alright, cause Johnny?s gonna bring some fire and he?s gonna blow the whole out.

And you know he?s gonna blow this whole thing out,
And you know he?s gonna blow this whole thing out and it?s not gonna take much,
But Johnny crawls out on the rooftop looking out and down on the?

Riot in the streets,
There?s fire in the eyes of the ones that keep this going, the
Riot in the streets,
They?re counting on a fight that ain?t never gonna stop till they?re,
Dying in the streets,
They?re diving into something, they never saw it coming,
They?re holding onto nothing, but they just keep going cause somebody told them, they?re?

Waiting in the middle of the cold gray night,
With hearts on empty and their souls bled dry
Keepin? their fists on fire as they?re hanging on the line?
Cause Johnny?s gonna bring some fire and he?s gonna blow the whole out
