Razor King

There was a man Came from my home town Didn't have no money He was always down Johnny Stark that was his name In a few short years He was gonna rise to fame When he was young He'd have to steal to eat In my shakedown bed Shared his sleep Late at night his papa Would come home drunk Shouting at his ma And calling him a punk I'm the Razor King That's what I'll be You can look out for me now My weapons will be sharp I'll get you in the dark again Some years later He'd grown up fast He got right down to it Didn't wanna be last He became the leader Of the local gang Was singing as he went And this is what he sang I'm the Razor King Oh, you can look out for me now Johnny Stark's my name My weapons will be sharp I'll get you in the dark again Some years later His reputation spread A man with no fear Or so it was said Leader of a gang Now two thousand strong Johnny didn't realize That he was doing wrong Then came the night He was to lose his crown Marching down main street He was going way down Weapons aflashing Grit in his eye Johnny didn't realize He was gonna die I'm a Razor King Ahh, that's what I am You can look up to me now Ohhh La la la la la la la la (etc.)
