Lyrics

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 don't need
 Oh, yes, I loved him but I won't miss him
 As he's burning and he's twisting
 For his heartless dedication
 To the devil and it's creed
 Oh, as a child we called him rotten
 'Til 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, it's the tale of Johnny Rotten
 Yeah, who was lonely and forgotten
 And it's the tale of my only brother
 And it's the tale of one bad seed
