Sweep the Leg Songtext
von No More Kings

"Ichi, Ni, San, Shi
Ichi, Ni, San, Shi"

I didn′t see it comin',
Creepin′ up from behind.
I was almost swallowed whole,
By the thrill of the fight.
It wasn't for the money,
And it wasn't just for fun.
I wanted to make a mark.
I just wanted to be some one.
I heard the devil whisper in my ear. (uh huh)
He made his message clear when he said:

"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
Oh good God, now you gotta believe me!


It never really mattered,
I was always under control.
Monkey hear, monkey think,
There is no fear in this dojo.
I was a super hero,
King of 1985.
I showed no mercy,
I was always Cobra Kai.
But I caught a crane kick to the face. (uh huh)
I guess he sealed my fate when he said:

"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
Oh good God, now you gotta believe me!
Good God, you gotta believe me!
Good God, good God,
Oh good God, now you gotta believe me!

Oh good God, now you gotta believe me!
Oh good God, now you gotta believe me!
Oh good God, now you gotta believe me!

I heard the devil whisper in my ear.
He made his message clear when he said:


"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
Good God, now you gotta believe me!
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
"Sweep the leg,
Sweep the leg, Johnny!"
Good God, you gotta believe, you got to believe me!
