Bullet Lyrics
[Verse 1]
President's bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny, ride
Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny, ride
Johnny's wife is floundering, Johnny's wife is scared
Run, Jackie, run
[Chorus]
Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead
You gotta suck, suck, Jackie, suck
[Verse 2]
President's bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny, ride
Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny, ride
[Chorus]
Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead
You gotta suck, suck, Jackie, suck
President's bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny, ride
Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny, ride
Johnny's wife is floundering, Johnny's wife is scared
Run, Jackie, run
[Chorus]
Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead
You gotta suck, suck, Jackie, suck
[Verse 2]
President's bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny, ride
Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny, ride
[Chorus]
Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead
You gotta suck, suck, Jackie, suck
[Bridge]
Arise Jackie-O
Jonathan F. Kennedy will rise and be shot down
Dirt's gonna be your desert
My cum will be your life source and the only way to get it
Is to suck or fuck or be poor and devoid
[Outro]
And masturbate me, masturbate me
Then slurp it from your palms
Like a dry desert soakin' up the rain, soakin' up the sun
Like a dry desert soakin' up the rain, soakin' up the sun
Arise Jackie-O
Jonathan F. Kennedy will rise and be shot down
Dirt's gonna be your desert
My cum will be your life source and the only way to get it
Is to suck or fuck or be poor and devoid
[Outro]
And masturbate me, masturbate me
Then slurp it from your palms
Like a dry desert soakin' up the rain, soakin' up the sun
Like a dry desert soakin' up the rain, soakin' up the sun
About
Genius Annotation
“Bullet” is the second single released by the horror punk band The Misfits under the leadership of Glenn Danzig
In 1978 “Bullet” was released in vinyl 7" format along with additional A-side “We Are 138” and B-sides “Attitude” and “Hollywood Babylon”. It later appeared on the full album “Static Age” which was released in 1997
The song is about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th US president during his visit to Texas in 1963. It contains vulgar metaphors for conspiracy theories and political abuse.
The fantasy image of Jackie O fellating the narrator is probably among the most obscene to be expressed in an American song.
