"Johnny Libertine" lyrics

Going nowhere fast, no direction is my aim
But spinning in circles, what could be smarter?
Dropout at best, no future to be claimed
Nevertheless, I'm a bullshit martyr

This is just the way it's supposed to be
I'm the spitting image of a tragedy
Well

I'm Johnny Libertine
The best that you've ever seen
The one and only saint
To society's complaints
And it's all that I'll ever be

Holier than thou, I'm a king, whatever right?
Son of a bitch by no relation
Mother was worth saving, I'm Catcher in the Rye
Leader of the dropout generation

This is just the way it's supposed to be
I'm the spitting image of a tragedy
Well

I'm Johnny Libertine
The best that you've ever seen
The one and only saint
To society's complaints
And it's all that I'll ever be

And I'm so sick and tired of simple-minded hypocrites
Fucked up, in denial
Victims of a miserable existence
So I try to fake a smile

And I don't know you
No one is sacred to me
Life don't owe you
Nothing but hatred in me
I don't want you
'Cause I just don't wanna be liked
I don't owe you
Paid all my debts in my blood
Now I'm running out

I'm Johnny Libertine
The best that you've ever seen
The one and only saint
To society's complaints
And it's all that I'll ever be
