[Verse 1]Am F E
Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
Am F E
He'd just keep pushin' on, even though he was barely alive
Am F E
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Am
Johnny says he wants to go do it
F E7
Says he wants to kill a cop
[Chorus]Am C F E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am C F E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
[Verse 2]Am F E
So, Johnny just keep pushin', 'cause the streets are yours
Am F E
There'll come a day when all that shit won't matter
Am F E
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter

When you're resisting anyway
[Chorus]Am C F E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am C F E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
[Verse 3]Am F E
So, Johnny, he kept on pushin'. The Streets are yours
Am F E
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
Am F E
So, shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter

Resisted anyway
[Outro]Am C F E
We've got a brand new dance, it's called we've got to overcome
Am C F E
