Lyrics

There was a man, came from my hometown
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, he shared his sleep
Late at night his papa would come home drunk
Shoutin' at his mama, call him a punk
I'm the razor king
Oh, 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
Became the leader of the local gang
Was singin' as he went, this is the song he sang
I'm the razor king
Oh, you can look out for me now
Ooh, 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 doin' wrong
Then came the night he was to lose his crown
Marchin' down main street, he was goin' way down
Weapons flashing, grit in the eye
Johnny didn't realize that he was gonna die
I'm a razor king
Ah, that's what I am
You can look up to me now
Oh
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
