Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
And I'm on the sidewalk
Thinking about how this bomb went off
Thinking about how this bomb went off
A hundred-thousand men, a bad call
A whole lifetime supply of soap and water couldn't wash this off
Don't matter what you did, you better look out, kid
God knows when, you better look out, man
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't matter what you did, you better look out, kid
God knows when, you better look out, man
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't matter what you did, you better look out, kid
God knows when, you better look out, man
You better walk on your tiptoes
Better keep a clean nose
Stay away from that pigpen
Don't need no weatherman
I don't need no weatherman
To know who doesn't give a damn
A whole lifetime supply of soap and water couldn't wash those hands
Don't matter what you did, you better look out, kid
God knows when, you better look out, man
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't matter what you did, you better look out, kid
God knows when, you better look out, man
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't touch 'cause you're making me nervous
Don't matter what you did, you better look out, kid
God knows when, you better look out, man
