Biography:
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains were a nihilistic folk-punk band from southern Vermont. They didn't hop freight trains. They did like to drink forties by the train tracks where the police wouldn't bother them. Most shows were a solo acoustic performance, but the full band at various times included Flash-C (trumpet), Ian Skumfuck (washtub bass), Jeff-face (harmonica), Roman (bicycle), Michael Jordan (drums), & Wyatt (harmonica).
The last show was in 2007.

D A Bm G
D
I swear that someday
A
I'll tell you without lying
Bm
I was born to quit smoking
G
I was born to quit dieing
On that day, not doing heroin
Will be easy as piss and on that day
I'll stop talking so much
Shit about the government
Chorus
D A
Cause urine speaks louder than words
Bm
On a politician
G
Or on a prison warden
D
Urine speaks louder than words
I swear that today
I was born to be living!
I was born to be singing!
I was born to be fighting
but will somebody say
Is this resistance or a costume party?
Either way I think black
With bandannas is a boring theme
I don't gotta tell ya
Crackers are great with amnesia
When they wanna forget something like
Centuries of racism
They say look at the man on
Center stage and pay no attention
While millions get locked in a cage
Riots break out in Oakland
Chorus
Urine speaks louder than words
On a prison warden
Or on a Bart policeman
Urine speaks louder than words
D
I swear that someday
A
I'll tell you without lying
