I was feeling so dull I could not get up
Couldn’t face the day
So I rang a doctor
Said I just cannot carry on this way
She prescribed me some pills
And now I feel OK
Don’t know why I waited so long
Don’t ever feel ashamed
John, I’m only speeding
John, I’m only speeding
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
I thought my spirit might’ve all dried up
But I was just tired
I found a way to activate myself
Now I’m feeling wired
John, I’m only speeding
John, I’m only speeding
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
I don’t want your heroin
I don’t want your ketamine
All I need’s amphetamine
Some chewing gum and a vitamin
John, I’m only speeding
John’ I’m only speeding
John, I’m only speeding
John, I’m only speeding
Don’t worry ‘bout it
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
Johnny, gimme a cigarette
