(instrumental intro)

Well, how come you hate women, blacks and gays?
And you want to control everything I say?
Let me know, Ashcroft, how you feel?
Tell the truth, are you for real?
So, uhhh ohhh!...

Well, Johnnie don't
Well, Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
I say don't curtail my freedom
Oh, no... Johnnie don't!

Well, I hate you, Ashcroft, and you ought to know
If arrested I have a right to a lawyer, too
Everything I've read 'bout you is doggone true
You're evil from head to toe
So, uhhh ohhh!...

Well, Johnnie don't
Well, Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
I say don't abolished my privacy
Oh, no!... Johnnie don't!

(instrumental break)

Well, don't arrest me without probable cause
Don't plant bugs and wiretaps around my house
Don't sentence me without a trial
Next election let the people's choice prevail
So, uhhh ohhh!...

Well, Johnnie don't
Well, Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
Johnnie don't
I say don't abolished my privacy
Oh, no, Johnnie don't!

(instrumental break)

Well, Johnnie don't
Well, Johnnie don't
Oh, don't you, don't you, Johnnie don't
I say don't curtail my freedom
Oh, no, Johnnie don't!...
