Yeah when I go over yonder, I will see my mother My sister and my father, but my brother is going to hell Yeah they hung him from the gallows As the sun turned red from yellow And the crowd they heard him halting And they sighed with much relief The preacher asked him for any last words My brother spit on to his clean shirt And he smiled without redemption And said this is one soul God dont need Oh yes I loved him but I wont miss him As hes burning and hes twisting For his heartless dedication To the devil and its creed Oh as a child we called him rotten Till he was lonely and forgotten And he revenged our constant jeering Oh with his every word and deed Oh yeah and for my contribution Oh and the souls lack of retribution I would ask the Lords forgiveness on my very bended knee Oh its the tale of Johnny Rotten Yeah who was lonely and forgotten And its the tale of my only brother And its the tale of one bad seed
tale, brother, rotten, yeah, revenged
