Billy Bragg The Johnny Carcinogenic Show Lyrics

The Johnny Carcinogenic Show Lyrics

Saw some guy on the TV yesterday

He's selling poison by the ton

"How can you do such a thing?" a woman asked

And he replied, "Well, the secret is to hook 'em young

Look, I'm not responsible for the lessons children learn

I'm just responsible for giving my investors some return"



Here's a message from

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'



Well, you'd never believe how much effort goes into

Adding some glamor to the brands

To distract you from the damage that they do

Putting their product in your hand

What other industry could ever get away

With contaminating their best customers this way?



Here's a message from

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'



Here's a product that promises to do nothing

But take your money and your soul

Poverty is toxic, everybody knows

No need to help it take its toll

Who will profit from the misery they sow?

Not the grandchildren that you will never know



Here's a message from

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'

Poverty is toxic

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'

Poverty is toxic



The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'

Poverty is toxic

The sponsors of, 'The Johnny Carcinogenic Show'

Poverty is toxic
