The Ballad Of Johnny Butt
Sublime Lyrics


Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
He just keep pushin' on even though he was barely alive
So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Johnny says he wants go do it
Says he wants to kill a cop

We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome

So Johnny just keep pushin' 'cause the streets are yours
There'll come a day, when all that shit won't matter
So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
When you're resisting anyway

We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome

So Johnny just keep on pushin', the streets are yours
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Resisting anyway

We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome

Johnny says he wants to go do it
Says he wants to kill a cop

We've got a brand new dance, it's called
We've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance, it's called
We've got to overcome

So Johnny
Just keep pushing
'Cause the streets are yours
There'll come a day
When all that shit wont matter

So...
Shoot it up
Shoot it up
It just don't matter
When you're resisted anyway

We've got a brand new dance, it's called
We've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance, it's called
We've got to overcome

So Johnny
You kept on pushing 
The streets are yours
And there'll come a day
When all that shit wont matter

So...
Shoot it up
Shoot it up
It just don't matter
Resisted anyway

We've got a brand new dance, it's called
We've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance, it's called
We've got to overcome

But dude... He is here. His music is here. Realize how lucky you are to be able to listen to all the shit he left behind. Believe me, if I could go back in time to listen to ANY band it would be Sublime, but I'm so grateful the music is here and it always will be

carolyn wilbur

Just think of all the amazing tunes he had left in him though, i agree with you, but, sure is a shame. Definitely one of the best bands ever!

This song has been with me for Soo many years. "There'll come a time when ALL of that shit won't matter" after MANY years of heroin addiction, I'm now 3 years clean and none of that shit matters anymore. Rhyme In Paradise Bradley ✌️

@Casey Stevenson hey Casey I just wanted to check up and see how you're doing? I've kept you in my thoughts & prayers. I know the struggle is real, keep your head up ✌️

cali_ kush70

@Casey Stevenson I will absolutely keep you in my thoughts and prayers, I understand alcoholism completely. My grandfather was an alcoholic, my father was a severe alcoholic & I also suffered from alcoholism myself to the point where the doctors put me on something called Antabuse which when taken it will make you EXTREMELY sick if you drink alcohol on it.

I believe in you man, you can overcome this addiction. It will take time as recovery is a process NOT an event. You will need support whether that be a significant other family, friends or a group like AA or life ring or something like that. Also take one day at a time and try your best as that's all you can do.

I'm rooting for you 👍

Casey Stevenson

@cali_ kush70 please pray for me to quit drinking.

Casey Stevenson

@cali_ kush70 my fiance passed from the disease. I awoke to the cops knocking on my hotel room door, saying they found her in the hotel lobby bathroom. Please feel no shame brother. I am so happy for you. I continue to pray for you. Happy 4th.

@Ben Hill ayy I really appreciate that man! I'm not going to lie, opioid addiction is one of the most grueling things I've ever had to overcome & I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. That being said, I am here to share with others that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel and that if I could do it so can many others. I appreciate your comment, we need more good vibes like this in the world.
Peace from Portland, Oregon ✌️
